Good question! Back in 1981, Lucius didn't have a kid at school either, so Voldemort could probably safely assume that he'd be less personally concerned about anything happening there anyway. (I mean, I guess he might worry about danger to the tiny handful of pureblood heirs to old families, but probably not as much as he'd worry about his own heir's safety.)
And good point that he might not have even been sure the diary would make it to school. He seems to have told Draco something, since Draco knows that there was a "last time" and that a girl died, but he might have said that in a letter after the attacks started rather than during the summer. Maybe the whole things was a big, "Whoops... I mean, I meant to do that. Hold on while I scramble to take advantage of the opportunity..."
