I don't remember my parents walking with me to school really other than the first day of kindergarten. I was 4 for most of my kindergarten year. I think I walked with my older brother for the first year or two. It was only 200 metres down a quiet street.

If our kids went to one of the schools in our community, they would probably walk themselves (they are 6 and almost 9). For one of the schools, the school yard is about 15 metres from our property, and the other school is about 200 meters down the quiet street. Unfortunately for the walking situation, we send our kids to a different school, which requires driving. Perhaps when the kids are older (and if they are still going to the same school), they could bike to school - it would take about 15 minutes.
