Her children at school.

Explanation
The correct answer is "is" because it agrees with the subject "Her children." In this sentence, "Her children" is a plural subject, but it is treated as a singular noun because it is a collective noun referring to multiple individuals as a single unit. Therefore, the verb "is" is used instead of "are."
