Greetings! I am Malea Bergeson and am incredibly excited about starting a new school year as Dean of Students at Richmond Elementary School and John Clark Elementary School. While this is my first year in this new position, I have been with the district for a total of 11 years. I feel fortunate to have had a variety of opportunities which include teaching 1st grade at RES, Title/Interventions across the district, and working in the curriculum and assessment office. I love to learn and these experiences have certainly kept me on my toes. Before coming to ROCORI, I taught at Talahi Community School in the St. Cloud School District for several years. I live near Richmond with my husband and three children ages 13, 11, and 9 years old. They all attend ROCORI School District and are very active in sports. My favorite past-times include cheering my kids on at their sporting events, enjoying time on the lake, traveling, reading, and taking long walks with family and friends. I enjoyed chatting with many of you at Open House on Wednesday evening and look forward to partnering with you to help our students learn and grow. Go Spartans!

If you would like to volunteer in or visit your child's classroom, please note a few important details. All volunteers and visitors are required to use the Raptor Visitor Management System in all school buildings. Our purpose for re-integrating the system, which has not been used for several years due to COVID's visitor policies, is to build on the district's program of campus safety for students and faculty. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our building at all times, and the Raptor System will allow us greater ability to do so. As in the past, visitors will be asked to present a valid state-issued ID, which will be scanned into the system. Once entry is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date and the purpose of the visit. Additional data from the driver's license is not gathered nor is the system connected to any other system such as the Department of Motor Vehicles. Therefore, any other information on the ID is not scanned by the system and is not accessible to any of the users. A visitor's badge will not be necessary for those who visit our schools simply to drop off an item in the office or pick up paperwork. The safety of our students is our highest priority and the Raptor visitor management system provides a consistent way to aid in keeping away people who may present a danger to our students. Volunteers will also be required to read our volunteer commitment when checking in. A copy of the document is attached. Thank you, in advance, for your understanding and support of enhancing safety protocols in our district! Please reach out with any questions or concerns!
Teal's 1% Receipt Rebate Program is an easy way for schools to earn money for their students. Simply shop at Teal’s Market and earn 1% back on all your qualifying purchases which will be donated to your school. Just send your receipts to the school and we will take care of the rest!
You can still support our school through the Box Tops for Education program. Box Tops have made a change to their system so that now all you have to do is create an account and scan your grocery receipt with their app. See this link to learn how to support RES: Box Tops
