James Hill Elementary locked down Wednesday

The lockdown at the end of the school day was prompted by a suspicious phone call.

A suspicious call 22 minutes before dismissal forced a code yellow lockdown at James Hill Elementary on Wednesday.

The reception desk received a suspicious call and RCMP were called in, said Langley School District’s Ken Hoff.

A code yellow means the exterior doors are locked and there is no entry or exit.

“RCMP and administration did a sweep of the school and nothing was found. Students were released to their parents,” said Hoff.
