First of all, Please do not confuse hypercalcemia with hypercalemia.
The first one hypercalCEMIA is too much calcium of the blood.
The second one which is your question word, Hypercalemia is too much potassium of the blood.

Calcitonin is released from thyroid gland in response to hypercalemia. On the other hand, parathyroid hormone- as you guessed - is from parathyroid gland in response to low levels of blood calcium. Which will cause calcium to be released from bone into blood to compensate.
