It’s hard to believe that the kids will be headed back to school soon (whether that looks like in-person school, homeschool, or something else for you this year!), and that the First Day of School is almost here already! Summertime seems to get shorter and shorter each year! We still have a bit of Summer Break ahead of us, but our friends who attend year round schools are headed back in just over a week from now!
Back-to-school means that it’s time to take those obligatory First Day of School photos, so we’ve got you covered with a cute set of free printable First Day of School signs for preschool through 12th grade!
For the 2021-22 school year, we’ve updated our printable First Day of School signs to include options for classic in-person school as well as homeschool. If you’re doing hybrid learning, distance learning, virtual learning, independent study, or any other option, we have also included a set of blank signs that you can customize with your personalized learning method.
If you’re a professional procrastinator (like me! 😂) who always waits until the last minute to do things, no worries! We’ve got you!
You can print out these back to school signs minutes before the kids head off to school and still manage to snap a few of those precious First Day of School pictures for posterity. One of my favorite things to do is look back at these photos each year and see how much my kids have grown! (It’s crazy how quickly they grow!)
Free Printable First Day of School Signs
Each set of First Day of School signs includes printable signs for preschool, pre-k, PK, transitional kindergarten, TK, and kindergarten along with all of the numbered grades. We’ve got you covered from preschool to elementary school to middle school and all the way up through high school!
Our printable Back-to-School signs also include alternate text versions for freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior years (which means that you actually could use these back-to-school signs all the way through the college years if you wanted to!)!
If you have chosen to homeschool for the 2021-2022 school year, we have special First Day of School signs just for you, too! We homeschooled for six years, so I know firsthand how challenging it can be to find homeschool-specific printables sometimes! We’ve got you covered with both graded and ungraded First Day of Homeschool signs! ❤️
Seriously, how adorable are these!? All smiles for the first day of school!
For the 2021 – 2022 school year, we’ve also included a fill-in-the-blank option for students who may be continuing on with distance learning, hybrid learning, virtual learning, remote learning, independent study, etc. Simply download the First Day of School signs, and then open the PDF file in Canva (or other photo editing software) to add your own custom text to the box at the bottom.
Note: the font that we used here is Nexa Rust Sans Black if you want to keep it looking consistent!
I love my HP Envy printer for printing out signs like this because it prints colors super smoothly and vividly (and it’s a steal of a deal if you don’t already have a color printer that you love!)! Plus, you can enroll in HP’s Instant Ink program – for a small monthly fee you will NEVER run out of ink again, AND it will show up automatically on your doorstep whenever you need it! It’s seriously one of my favorite things ever!
(Oh, and don’t worry, we’re ready with matching Last Day of School Signs for the end of the year, too! We update them in April each year to be ready for the last day of school!)

Jessica says
I love the signs but they keep printing out vertical instead of horizontal so it cuts off half of the sign. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I tried flipping view on my computer but it still printed out wrong. I’m sure it’s something I am failing to do lol but if this has happened to anyone else please let me know how you fixed it! Thank you!
Heidi says
Hi Jessica! Did you make sure to check your printer settings to tell it to print it in landscape vs portrait mode? That’d be my first suggestion! 🙂
Megan says
Is there a way to change the year? I want to have them all uniform from preschool to high school. OCD mom here

Bekah says
These are wonderful and we used them for our kids first day this year and have them saved for their last day as well.! I was wondering if you were going to update with a First Day of Distance Learning/eLearning/Online School/Homeschool option here or in the store? Either way, thanks for saving non-crafty moms like myself!
Heidi says
We added a First Day of Homeschool option to this year’s file! 🙂
Heidi says
We actually went ahead and made entire new sets for homeschool, distance learning, virtual learning, and more! There are seven complete sets this year for lots of options! 🙂
Courtney Rahn says
Hi! Just checking in…will you be making last day of “school” signs for this year? I know most of our kids are technically in school, but I’d love to mark the official end of the year and this one matches ours from the first day.
