Circle of Life Academy School Board Meeting Schedule

The School Board is proud to support the dedicated educators, staff, and families who make Circle of Life Academy a place where learning is rooted in respect, tradition, and excellence. Together, we continue to build a strong foundation that honors our heritage while preparing our students for a bright future. This year, we look forward to strengthening partnerships between home, school, and community. We encourage open communication, collaboration, and participation in school events and initiatives. Every voice matters, and every contribution helps our students thrive.

School Board Meeting Schedule

The Circle of Life Academy School Board meets on the second Monday of each month at 5 p.m. If the meeting date or time changes, the school will share updates on the COLA website, through Honeywell alerts, and on social media.
