Welcome to the Sunrise webpage, we are glad you’re here!  As a part of the Enumclaw School District, we believe in the pursuit of creating a school that engages students in learning that is irresistible, deep, exciting, and authentic, and that if we can do this we will succeed in preparing our students for success in the innovation era and success in life. 

At Sunrise Elementary, we follow a set of shared values that guide our beliefs about teaching, learning, and growing together. Connecting with each of our students and families is a top priority, as is building partnerships between school, home, and community. We believe that celebrating the differences of each individual builds appreciation, understanding, and empathy, and promotes a caring and respectful culture. We hold high academic and behavioral expectations and believe that this, coupled with support, impacts student achievement in a positive way. We value professional and community collaboration as critical pieces of intentional and purposeful teaching. 

Sunrise Elementary serves approximately 400 students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Students receive an intentional, focused education that combines research-based educational practices with a high-quality curriculum. Implementation and instruction are informed by weekly professional learning and collaboration among staff. We believe that early intervention is more effective than remediation, and we take pride in the ways staff, students, and families partner with each other to provide engaging support and enrichment opportunities for students.

At Sunrise, we are grateful for our parent and community volunteers, who provide rich learning experiences for our students. Our dedicated PTO sponsors many exciting events and activities with a focus on students as well as academic and social-emotional learning. We are so thankful for our staff, our students, and our community, and we invite you to be a part of our Sunrise family!
