A lockdown at Highlands Intermediate School in Pearl City ended Tuesday without incident after police responded to a suspicious package found on campus.
A Department of Education spokeswoman said the lockdown was lifted at 2:05 p.m., about three hours after it began.
Honolulu Police Department spokeswoman Michelle Yu said the suspicious package turned out to be an unattended bag containing clothing and was determined not to pose a threat.
Police initially closed Hoolaulea Street between Hoomaemae and Noelani streets to investigate and later reopened the road.
The school day normally ends at 2:10 p.m., and school officials sent parents to Hoomaemae Street to pick up their children before the lockdown ended.

Police seize drugs, cash from a Kapaa man, 40
A Kapaa man faces multiple charges following the seizure of more than 480 grams of drugs and nearly $38,000 in cash.
Ramah Wong, 40, who was wanted on two bench warrants for violating his probation on Oahu, was arrested by Kauai Police Department officers Feb. 5 in Lihue, police said.
During the arrest, Kauai vice officers recovered $3,430 in cash, and a canine screening alerted police to the possibility of narcotics in two backpacks and a vehicle belonging to Wong.
Police executed a search warrant on the backpacks and vehicle two days later, leading to the recovery of some 471.4 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 9 grams of marijuana and an additional $34,351 in cash.
Wong now faces multiple charges, including first- and third-degree promotion of a dangerous drug, and third-degree promotion of a detrimental drug, police said.
A court hearing has been scheduled for April 3 on the revocation of Wong’s probation.
