Free Printable First Day of School Signs 2023-24

For the 2023-24 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 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! These adorable signs are the perfect last-minute photo prop for those first-day photos!

You can print these back to school signs just 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. Start your own first day of school tradition and use these same signs each year! (We post the updated free printable signs for the current year in early July)

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 up!)

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 each numbered grade level. We’ve got you covered from preschool to elementary school to middle school and all the way up through high school! These cute first day of school signs are good for kids of all ages!

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 2023-2024 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 is this!? All smiles for the first day of school!

For the 2023 – 2024 school year, we’ve also included a fill-in-the-blank customizable sign option for students who may be continuing on with distance learning, hybrid learning, virtual learning, remote learning, independent study, etc. Or, use that space to fill in your school name, your teacher’s name, or even your child’s name!

Simply download the First Day 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!
