First Day of School Printable Signs

It’s become a tradition in our home, like with so many families, to take a photo of our children on the first day of school each year.  It’s such an important time and it’s fun to capture the excitement, nerves, and all the other emotions as kids start back to school.  I’ve seen some really cute props for back to school photos and I decided to make First Day of School Printable Signs that I could use for our kids.  I hope you enjoy using these printable signs for your kids too and treasure the pictures for years to come. They would be super cute in a pencil frame!

Free Printable First Day of School Signs

Whether your child is starting Preschool or Kindergarten through 6th Grade, you can print one of these First Day of School signs for them.  Place it in a simple photo frame and have them hold it for a quick photo before heading off to school or when you drop them off at school.

Back to school signs always make for a fun keepsake and you can just draw one up yourself but if you aren’t great at art projects or you just can’t find the time, these printable first day of school signs will really come in handy. 

I have also upped the game by making a First Day of School printable for each year of school from preschool all the way up to sixth grade.  This really helps you remember which year it was later so you are not guessing when the photos get all mixed up later.  It is also a cute touch for sharing on social media so friends can know what grade your child is going into. Don’t forget to print out a few extras to share with grandparents!
