Toward can be used as an adjective instead of a preposition. In place of "to" and "around". "Everyone was friendly toward (not towards) her." Or, "Sometime toward (towards is wrong if your meaning is around) the end of the movie, I fell asleep."
Towards is exclusively a preposition. ....towards (a direction in relation to someone/something, a goal, a definite point in time, "for" a definite purpose.)
