Rescuers detected signs of life under the rubble of the multi-storey school on Java island that gave way suddenly on Monday.
At least three people were killed in the collapse according to school records.
Father Abdul Hanan said they believe their children might still be alive because they were crying for help.
Nearby, Dewi Sulistiana was awaiting news of her 14-year-old son whom she last contacted on Sunday.
The rescue operation is complex due to the risk of vibrations causing further collapse.
Any tunnel will only provide an access route around 60 centimetres wide because of concrete columns.
Rescuers in orange uniforms were seen snaking cameras under the rubble to hunt for survivors.
Water and food is being sent in but access is through a single point as the main structure has totally collapsed.
Local charitable organisations have set up posts offering families food and drink around the ruins.
The grocery stall owner felt a vibration and heard a noise before realising it was a building collapse.
The national disaster management agency spokesman said the building collapsed after foundation pillars failed to support new construction weight.
It is common to leave structures partially completed allowing owners to add extra floors later.
