We're enrolling for the 2026-27 school year!
Our Community
ESPA (Earth School Parent Association)
The Earth School Parent Association (ESPA) is an essential bridge between families and staff to build community, to enrich the student experience, and raise much-needed funds to support our school. We plan events, host parties, and bring people together. All families are members of the ESPA—come to a meeting to get to know other parents, make some friends, and make a difference in your school!
SLT (School Leadership Team)
The SLT is composed of both parents and teachers who discuss issues affecting the school community and plan various school-wide events. They meet once/month on Thursdays at 3:30 and all are welcome to attend and have their voice heard. We meet once a month on Thursdays at 3:30 p.m. Check back here for meeting dates and minutes.
Class Parents
Class Parents build community within their class and grade level, serving as an important liason between teachers, families, and the ESPA. Have an idea to bring your class closer together? Reach out to your class parent!
Garden Gnome Volunteers
Our beautiful rooftop garden is an incredible resource for our students, and it is maintained through the love and dedication of our wonderful families.
School Traditions
Monday Morning Sing-a-Long
Join us Monday mornings at drop-off in the yard for a community sing-a-long! See you there!
Friday Aftenoon Town Hall
Once a week, the Earth School community comes together in the auditorium for singing, work shares, and performances. Town Hall happens from 2:20-2:40 p.m. on Fridays. Parents are always welcome to attend; enter at security at the 6th Street Entrance.
Coffee Fridays
Once a month, our community comes together at drop-off for free coffee and great conversation!
Welcome Picnic
The entire school community comes together to celebrate the start of the year at our annual Welcome Picnic, held in September in Tompkins Square Park.
Fall Fair
A box maze! Arts and Crafts! Tasty food! A rummage sale! It's one of our favorite Saturdays of the year.
Winter Wonderland Cookie Walk
The Earth School hallways are transformed into a cookie wonderland, with plenty of treats and activities for the whole family.
Battle of the Bands
DYK The Earth School has a band? The Super Moons is made up of Earthling Parents, and they take the Bowery Ballroom stage once a year for District 1 Glory.
Mystery Art Show
A LES Gallery is transformed with this one-day show, featuring artwork by Earthlings, parents and teachers. Each 6"x6" artwork is for sale - and the catch - you don't know the artist until it's yours.
Spring Family Picnic
The entire school community decamps to the East River Park every June for an end-of-year celebration.
And even more fun!
Additional fun throughout the year includes Movie Nights, an annual Cabaret / Open Mic, Monster bake sales, Rainbow Club bake sales, an Earth Day Celebration and more.
