Your first sentence is fine. About the second sentence you might hear, 'you haven't got to (gotta) go to school.'

Hope better answers will be posted.

I'm not sure which negative is meant though: There is no requirement to go to school (although you may) or You must not go.

If it's the first, you have great answers.
