Hey there, mama! Can you believe the summer break is already over? It feels like just yesterday we were soaking up the sun, and now we’re gearing up for another exciting school season. One of my favorite things about this time of year is the first day of school photos. There’s just something so special about capturing our kiddos on that first morning with their brand-new backpacks and those nervous-yet-excited smiles!

But what’s a first day of school photo without a cute sign to go with it? That’s right—I’m talking about those free printable first day of school signs that you see all over social media. They’re such a fun way to document the start of a new school year, whether your little one is stepping into preschool, moving up to eighth grade, or even finishing up their senior year of high school!

We actually homeschool our children, but we still have many friends and family in the public school system and we fully support that decision. Each child is different and each parent has the God-given right to choose what is best for their child. Little side tangent there!

However, regardless if you homeschool or attend a public school, chances are you still love to take that First Day of School picture just like I do! There is something delightful about looking back year after year at your little offspring and seeing how they have grown and matured! It all goes so fast!

Features of the Back to School Sign Printable

Printable signs are the best way to add a personal touch to your first day of school photos. Plus, they’re super easy to use! Just download the PDF file, print it out on white cardstock for that good thickness, and voilà! You’ve got yourself a cute first day of school sign.

The best part? These free printables are perfect for personal use and can be customized to match your child’s grade level and school year. We’ve got options for every grade, from 1st grade all the way up to 12th grade! And if you’re a teacher, there’s even a space to add your name and use them for classroom use.

For the 2024-25 school year, we have added lots of fun things to our Back to School sign printable. Here are some of the features of the sign. There are two color pallets to choose from!

• Customize your child’s name

Printing Options

We love our Epson printer for all our printing needs. We get the XL ink cartridges and are good to go for a long while! Someday we would love to invest in the Epson Ecotank printer, but right now the Workforce Printer is very economical and the XL cartridges go a long way!

If you use the JPG folder downloads where you can write in the information, you will want a marker that can show up on the chalkboard design. For this, the best option is Sharpie Paint markers. I have a shameful amount of these white paint markers for situations just like this! They are a lifesaver for many different DIY moments!

I LOVE to see your Back to School photos! Make sure to tag healing_home_ when you snap that Back to School photo!
