That is a decision your parents would have to make, but if school is not closed, the weather is most likely not bad enough for students to stay home.
Historical Answer
Throughout history, children normally walked to school and weather was rarely an excuse to stay home unless there was an active hurricane, tornado, blizzard or snow drifts taller than 5-feet. Children were expected to arrive to school, on time. It's only been in the last 30 years that these expectations have changed, in part because of school-busing and school liability issues!

depends really.
if you live just round the corner then drive, but it is also a matter of how deep the snow is if its 8 inches do let them walk to school they will get soaked, and it will be quite dangerous driving, so in that case stay at home.
If the snow is more of ice, dont walk either you will slip and hurt your self! but it is also dangerous to drive.
You have to decide for your self if you want your children to go to school in the snow.
if you live far away from the school i would reccemend not to because if the snow gets any deeper you will stuglle to pick them up on time!
but if your determined for your children to go to school even if it is snowing they can where they wellies and water proofs and changed when they get to school.
but some schools close if there is heavy snow because people will have trouble coming to school!
hopefully now you have lots of choices, you should decide weather you want your kids to go to school in the snow
You should check for school closings the day the storm arrives It is very unlikely that any decisions about closing would be made before that or before snow actually starts falling and actual road conditions and a timely forecast can be evaluated. For closings, here is where to look:
In the United States and Canada
The best source of information for school closings is usually the local T.V. and radio stations. Radio stations almost always announce the list of closings they receive every few minutes. Television stations usually run an ongoing list of closings across the bottom of the screen or show the list every few minutes. Closings might also be posted on their websites and possibly on the school district's or individual school's websites.
In Ontario, Canada, you can visit ontarioweather.com (See Related Link) to find the stations to tune in for closings.
In the United Kingdom
For latest emergency school closings, tune in to the BBC or visit the Directgov web site, where you can get the latest closings for your area by typing in your post code.
It is very unlikely that schools would close because of snow showers, though school administrators would certainly be watching the weather situation in case the showers turned into something more serious.
Schools should remain open except where access to that school is severelt impeded, or where the school cannot guarantee the safety and/or health of both students and staff.
If there is some snow, then yes within reason. If the snow blocks roads or cuts the power, then no.
There is no reason to close schools for snow unless driving conditions are unsafe for students to get to school or become unsafe for the students to get home. Any day missed because of weather has to be made up at the end of the year, so it is best to stay in the routine if at all possible to avoid that.
No. You could spread the cold (or whatever sickness you have) to your classmates and teachers. Plus, for me, it would do me some good to stay at home and catch up on homework/shows/junk food:) Or if its been a stressful week at school because of friendship problems or whatever.
Just relax and lay in bed.
