KAMAS, Utah (AP) -- Students at a middle school in Summit County will be attending classes somewhere else for a while.

The roof on their school collapsed over the weekend. School officials think it's because of too much heavy snow.

It happened Friday night at South Summit Middle School in Kamas. There was nobody in the building, so there were no injuries when the roof came down on two gymnasiums and four dressing rooms.

The damage can be repaired, but it's going to take some time.

So sixth-graders are being moved to the elementary school. Eighth- and ninth-graders will attend the high school until the roof is fixed.
