Good Evening Timberwolves:
Due to Gov. Hochul’s State of Emergency declaration for Erie County and the extensive regional impact of the winter storm which is expected to affect Western New York, the Tonawanda City School District will be closed tomorrow (Thursday, December 12th).
Although we may not experience severe weather conditions in Tonawanda during this storm, the forecasted weather in the region will significantly impact the safety and operations of our schools for students and staff.
This closure will include all after-school/evening activities including athletic events.
This decision was made in collaboration with other school district superintendents throughout Erie County out of an abundance of caution.
Thank you for your trust and continued support of our school district.
Please be reminded that the community vote regarding the TAX NEUTRAL Capital Project for the Middle/High School building will take place on Tuesday, December 17th from 11 am to 8 pm inside the Wellness Gymnasium at the High School. The cost of this project will not result in any additional tax impact on our taxpayers. This fiscally responsible project will provide $52.7 million dollars in needed renovations, reconstruction, and upgrades to areas in the Middle/High School. The goal of this project is to address the urgent needs in our aging building infrastructure and learning spaces which will improve the educational environment for our students and the workplace environment for all faculty and staff..
