Not all public schools closed during the Games (I don't recall any doing so, but they may have). I had to go to school every day. The only accommodation they made was, as you said, allowing kids to miss class to attend events. I remember them announcing whenever an event was postponed and any kids who had tickets to the event groaning because they wouldn't get to leave early.
