They'll be bat-hunting tonight at Lehi High School. The critters are back at the school this year, prompting school officials to close off a room and issue warnings to students.

At the school, signs and tape seal off the doors to the south gym. Outside, officials point to an area where they think the bats got in.

Alpine District spokeswoman Rhonda Bromley says the district has been removing some dead bats from campus.

Students warned of bats at school

"There was one taken out yesterday morning, first thing in the morning before any students got to the school, about 5:30 in the morning. It was taken out of the hallway adjacent to the gymnasium. And then this morning there were three," she said.

Last year several students opted to get rabies shots after handling some of the dead animals. This year, the school is warning students to keep their hands off.
