Have you tried sending out Sunday school invitations? This is an idea that has worked well in our church. Encourage your students to bring a friend to Sunday school by offering Welcome Packs to new students in attendance.
Make your visitors feel at home with a welcome pack. Inside the pack can be a short note welcoming the student and inviting them to return, a small amount of candy, a map of important places in the church, a list of upcoming activities, and a list of contact information in case the student or parent wants more information.
Introduce the visitor to the Sunday school class and ask them to say a little about themselves. Have the class greet the student and include him or her in all class activities for the day. This will encourage students to attend Sunday school even when they have a friend staying the night, and it can help you gain new students to share Christ with!
