FreshmanConferencesSeptember 2026

Welcome to Brandeis!

Welcome to the class of 2030! We are excited to be a part of your freshman year. Please take a moment to review the newsletter for important updates and information. We want to make sure you are on track for graduation and answer any questions you may have.


During fall conferences counselors will assist students in creating a four year plan. This is a document counselors will keep on file. The four year plan allows students to look at all four years of high school to make sure they are meeting all gradation requirements.
