Morphology
The meaning 'a day when school is open and students attend classes' is directly and compositionally derived from 'school' (educational institution) + 'day' (a day/time period). This simple noun-noun combination follows a common, cross-linguistic pattern and would be immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituent words.
Etymology
School day comes from combining school (the place for learning) and day (one day). Think of a day full of lessons and bells, so it means 'a day when school is open and students attend classes'.
