The hold and secure at Tomken Road Middle School and St. Thomas More have been lifted by Peel Regional Police.
Investigators deemed it safe for both schools to resume normal operations saying no threat was substantiated.
No injuries were reported.
“At about 9:05 a.m., police directed Tomken Road Middle School into hold and secure, as a precautionary measure, while they conduct an investigation in the community,” the Peel District School Board wrote in a statement.
“As part of the hold and secure protocol, all doors are locked so no one can enter or exit the building. School activities and classes are continuing regularly inside the school. Students and staff are safe.”
Students in some of Ontario’s largest school boards head back to class today amid the fourth wave of COVID-19.
Some boards started their school years earlier this week, but today marks the first day of class for students in the Toronto, Peel, York and Durham boards.
