If you are a parent of a Tonawanda Senior who is planning to attend college in September, then it is time for you to file the FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) form.
The form is available at www.studentaid.ed.gov. Both parent and student will also need a FAFSA ID which you can get at the same website.
Once your colleges receive the FAFSA information they can process a financial aid award letter for your student.
After completing the FAFSA, you must link to the New York State Tuition Assistance Program to apply for TAP (NYS grant money). You can also access the TAP application at www.hesc.ny.gov.
If you have questions, contact your school counselor at 716-694-7673 or call the financial aid office at one of the schools your student is considering.
The Digital SAT will be given at Tonawanda High School on Friday, April 4, 2025.
To be eligible to take the exam, your child must sign up in the Counseling Office with payment no later than Friday, March 7, 2025.
Tests are available for the first 50 students, so please make sure to sign up as soon as possible!
The cost of the test is $68.00. Checks can be made payable to: Tonawanda Middle/High School.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact the Counseling Office (716-694-7673) and talk to your child’s school counselor.

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.
