# Back to School Printable: Free First Day of School Signs

July 17, 2025 by Leandrea Voskanian

Heading back to school is an emotional time. Back in the day (the same day when we walked to school in 3 feet of school, up hill both ways) our parents didn’t think twice about sending us to school on the bus with a sack lunch containing a bologna sandwich. In the year 2016 there are First Day of School Signs to print, BPA lunch containers to think about, and a million photos to take. This post contains affiliate links.

You can download and print a First Day of School sign for every grade.

Tips for Printing

1. Select the grade(s) you want to print and only that Page(s).

2 Print in Landscape (wide) not Portrait(tall).

3. Select Scale to Fit and make sure you can see the entire image.

4. Print on heavy card stock or mount your printed paper on something sturdy like a piece of construction paper so the paper doesn’t bend during your photo shoot.

Have a great first day of school! Don’t forget to take at least one picture. In our house…we have to take several pictures because there is always someone squinting or with her eyes closed or int he middle of movement. I love comparing the first day of school photos with the last day of school photos. It is so bittersweet to see our kids grow up!
