SPARKS, NV - The Washoe County School District has confirmed that an eighth grade student at Shaw Middle School in Spanish Springs died while at school Tuesday morning.

Shaw principal David Fullenwider called the young girl's passing "a shocking and tragic loss for her family and for all of us here at Shaw Middle School."
School Superintendent Heath Morrison and Board President Barbara Clark issued the following message: "We express our deepest sympathy and concern to her family and friends on this heart-breaking occasion. They and she will be in the thoughts of all of us in the Washoe County School District."
