I guess the school is quite large - try via the PTA, there's bound to be some cyclists amongst the parents of the kids, who'll give you support / networks / spare hands. I've found loads of support amongst parents to get their kids to travel to school in a better way than in their massive Kiddie Wagon. Perhaps start using that documentary of the woman who got that town in Wiltshire to reduce their car intake and use that as a teaching aid / model, and as tommy says look at the catchment area and what routes they'd use?
Spraying / adapting / blinging bikes up might make some of them more interested than the standard tabard wearing cycling proficiency* types. In the first five minutes of my cycling proficiency at my primary school, i got so excited about being able to bring in my swanky new bmx, that i pulled a wheelie across the entire length of the playground and got chucked off the course.
