Dear Sunrise Families,

Welcome to the 2025–26 school year! I hope your summer was filled with fun, rest, and time to recharge. As we step into a new school year, I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new Principal of Sunrise Elementary.

My background includes experience as both a classroom teacher, an interventionist, and an assistant principal. These roles have provided me with a strong foundation in building systems that support student learning, empower teachers, and engage families and the community. I am also a wife and parent of two amazing kids—a fifth grader and a first grader—which keeps me deeply connected to the joys and challenges of elementary school life. My philosophy as an educator is simple: I want for every child the same education and support that I would want for my own children.

I feel grateful to be joining a school and community that already has so much to celebrate. Sunrise has a strong tradition of excellence, and I look forward to continuing the great things happening here while also finding ways to grow together.

Please know that my door is always open. I welcome your questions, ideas, and conversations. Don’t hesitate to reach out or simply stop by and say hello. I can’t wait to meet you and your children as we begin this new year of learning and growth.

Here’s to a fantastic 2025–26 school year!

Warmly,
Ashley Ferguson
Principal, Sunrise Elementary

Welcome back to another amazing school year! We hope you can join us for our Meet the Teacher event on Monday, August 25th from 3:00-4:00. Come see your new classroom, meet your teacher, drop off school supplies, and say hi to staff and friends!

Please visit our Back-to-School Hub to have everything you need for beginning the school year, including annual notifications, calendar, online registration, supply lists, free and reduced lunch applications, and more at https://www.enumclaw.wednet.edu/page/parents

Sunrise has qualified for free breakfast and lunch for ALL students for the 2025-2026 school year! During the first week of school your student come home with a Free & Reduced Meals form. If you think your family may qualify based on income, please be sure to complete and return this form. If enough families qualify, we will continue to receive free meals for all studnets next year as well.

As we continue to prepare for the first day back, please take a moment to complete the survey linked below to let us know how your student(s) will be getting home each day. This information is extremely important for us to help make sure the end of the day runs smoothly and so we can help make sure everyone gets to where they need to be. Please fill out this survey for what your normal plan will be, but if you are planning on something different for the first day of school, you can note that in the final question where it asks for any additional information.
