I'm not sure how to explain this phrase grammatically, but it is a common phrase that means that the students are released from the school. They are released from the obligation to attend school or released from the school day. We also say "when school lets out..."

I think it means gets out of your way for the rest of the day. I'm not too sure though. Where I'm from we would simply say "Once we finish school."
