It is not a preposition. "School day" is a compound noun. In this case it is the combination of two nouns (school+day), but can also be the combination of multiple different elements (i.e., noun+verb, adverb+noun, etc.). Compound nouns are sometimes written as two separate words (e.g., "bus stop"), as a hyphenated work (e.g., dry-cleaning), or as a single word (e.g., bedroom). In fact, you will sometime see it written as "schoolday."
