Free Printable First Day of School Signs [ 2024-2025 ]

I don’t know about you but I love seeing photos of my friend’s kids holding their first day of school signs. I love seeing their cute smiles and it’s always fun to compare these photos year-to-year. I made these free printable first-day-of-school signs that you can easily print and use at home.

For years we have used a small (old) chalkboard and I handwrite everything, which is not very pretty. I wish that I created these first day of school signs years ago, because these are so much better than my old chalkboard. I wanted to make something simple but colorful so I added some colorful pencils along the bottom.

I’ve created a 1st Day of School sign for all grades (Pre-K – 12th Grade) I’ve also included a few different options for Preschool and Pre-K since both terms are used.

I really like this paper for printing color printables. It’s a little heavier and holds up well. Shop here.

I would recommend printing these on cardstock or printing it out and putting it into a lightweight frame like this one.

Yes, I even made signs for high schoolers. I included 4 bonus signs with “Freshman, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior” on them. Because what’s more fun than making your teenagers take these silly First Day of School photos?

Taking a picture on your senior’s last first day of high school makes a great keepsake.
