Addressing school children is a political tradition that goes back well into American history. However, off the top of my head, I can think of only a few specific instances in which Presidents have made such addresses. President Ronald Reagan addressed school children and explained why lowering taxes would help the economy. President George Herbert Walker Bush addressed school children in a speech in which he asked school children to think of different ways in which they could help him do his job. President Bill Clinton probably addressed school children. President George W. Bush was reading to school children on September 11, 2001 when he was repeatedly informed that the country was under attack.

EDIT: When George H. W. Bush addressed the schools, the Democrats opposed to it and there were congressional hearings afterwards because of it. George W. Bush was reading a children's book to a group of kids on 9/11, which is completely different in that it was only to one classroom and it was a children's book rather than a speech to the entire school system.
