Mendive Middle School in Sparks was temporarily evacuated while police investigated a report of a possible threat at the school. 

Washoe County School District posted the information just after 7:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Just a little more than 30 minutes later, WCSD reported that police determined that the school was safe and that students returned to the building. 

A letter to Mendive families from the school district asked for families to remind their students to not circulate unfounded rumors on social media and reminded families that making threats is illegal.
