'Rest in Peace Andrew and Jihad,' a prominent poster on the school gates read.
'A good heart has stopped beating, a good soul ascended to heaven. May god bless your family during this time of grief,' another mourner said.
'So sad to hear and see the pain, but we will pull through as a community. May Allah bless you both,' another card read.
The two boys, believed to have both been part of Grade 3T at the school, were often pictured together proudly showing off their homework.
It comes after a relative of one of two boys killed in the horrific accident questioned why Ms Al-Shennag had been driving in the 'staff only' car park just before the crash.
Hitting out on social media in the hours after the crash on Tuesday, a relative of one of the boys' said they had found it hard to be 'sympathetic' towards Ms Al-Shennag.
'We are... trying to be sympathetic to the mother who did this but gates were closed, you don't open (them),' the relative wrote.
A sign at the entrance of the driveway where Al-Shennag is alleged to have driven in says: 'STOP. No vehicle access. Caution Children. Staff and authorised vehicles only.'
