I was very surprised not to find an article for this. "School day" is a word used here in the US to distinguish a day that you'd go to school from, say, a holiday or a weekend day. I thought it might redirect to some formal thing like
Academic day or some Wikipedic shit, you know, but instead
School Day redirected to
School Days (song). There's no information on just "days you go to school" on Wikipedia? There's got to be some extensive history or something on the subject, right?
This is the reference desk. If you need help creating an article there are other venues, and you can do it on your own. Considering your user page and edit history, it seems you have the general idea, so go ahead and create the page if you have the
WP:RS to prevent it from being deleted as not notable.
Academic year does exist, have you improved that? You might also just create a wiktionary entry, if one doesn't exist. In any case, it is not our place to give opinions on whether a specific article should be created.

Steve Summit, an alternative meaning in the plural and sometimes run into a single word (in the UK at least) is "the period of your life when you were at school"
[1]. Not sure how we can connect that to your Wiktionary entry?

There has been an entry for
wikt:schooldays for nearly ten years. Is there significant usage of the two-word form (other than the plural of your new entry)? I think your new entry should probably just be an alternative form of
wikt:schoolday, but I'm not sure which is more common, or whether "school day" is just a sum of parts.

The OP doesn't seem to be asking about "schooldays" (which would include those holiday times off from school), but rather about the concept of a specific "school day" - like, what happens during the average day at school. Though it would help if the OP would come back here and clarify. ←

We could have an article comparing the structure of a typical school day in various countries. I think that might be of interest. One problem is that there is a lot of variation within each country.

In America, it would vary from state to state, from school district to school district, and maybe even from school to school, as well as variances between public and private schools. Since the OP first trashed Wikipedia itself and then hasn't returned to address the questions here, the question looks like trolling. ←

Anyone who actually reads the article will find - "when asked 'What's with the weird and wonderful hat?' Porter replied: 'I've had some surgery on my skin, so this has been my look for a little while and will continue to be for a while longer.'".
