You can use each one, provided that:

A The time is before the school's start

B This feels more like a general statement, used for example for a national holiday

C The day isn't over, and they didn't go to school. (e.g.: if the school is still open in the afternoon, they could still go there)

D The day is over, and they didn't go to school
