Can a school close due to snow showers?
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
