I am Malinda Smith. I have been working at Byron High School since August 1995. I have a Master of Arts in Counseling from Central Michigan University. I also received my teaching certificate from Michigan State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, as well as a minor in Business Administration, from Oakland University.
I hope that your visit here will give you the answers that you are looking for. If not, please call me at (810) 266-4620 x1608 or e-mail me at smith@byron.k12.mi.us.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality
Confidentiality means that the privacy of information that students share with the school belongs to the student. Students may share information with others as they wish, but the school understands that students have a right to privacy. We will guard that privacy as much as is permitted by the law, ethics, and school rules. We recognize the legal rights and responsibilities of parents in doing what is in the best interest of their children. If students ask that information be shared with others outside the district, the student and their parents will be asked to sign a release form. We will send only information you request unless mandated by law or ethics. You should know there are exceptions where we are obligated to break confidentiality, including potential harm to the student or someone else, state laws that mandate reporting of child abuse, or a court of law that requires testimony or student records. Counselors occasionally consult with other school professionals, but in such cases only information necessary to achieving the goals of the conference will be shared. In addition, counselors may keep informal notes regarding conferences, notes that are stored in a secure, locked drawer and treated confidentially. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Smith, the high school counselor.

Electronic Transcript Request
Electronic Transcript Request
For students Class of 2011 and after: As part of the State of Michigan e-transcript initiative, when students apply to colleges and universities online, they need to go www.parchment.com and register to have their transcripts sent electronically. When you register and request a transcript to be sent, Ms. Smith gets an email alert that a request has been made; then your transcript can be uploaded electronically by the high school. This is an excellent way to keep track of where students have applied, whether those transcripts have been uploaded (and when), and whether the recipient has received it. If you have any questions, contact Ms. Smith.
*** All alumni (graduates as of 8/1 each year) will now be charged $3.25 by Parchment to process electronic transcripts ***
For students Class of 2010 and earlier: You need to complete the Transcript Request form (found in the left column) and either bring it to the high school office or fax it to 810-266-5010.
