The school year is almost here again. That means all the littles are gearing up to enter into a fun and exciting chapter in their lives. I have a niece and nephew who are starting Kindergarten, and so I thought I would make available to you my free printable first-day-of-school signs that I made for them.

Just so we’re clear, I am not a graphic designer and have no clue as to how to use Photoshop. But, I know how to use Picmonkey like a boss. If you decide that you want to design your own, by all means, log onto Picmonkey.com and have at it! And by the way, it’s free to use. So there’s that!
Just download the jpeg and have it printed at Walmart or Walgreens. This is formatted to print as an 11×14, but it will also print nicely as an 8×10. I think that they look better at 11×14!! I purchased my frames from Michales. Each one was $8.00. Then all you need to do is mount the picture in the frame and write on the glass with a pen made for writing on glass.
Pin for later!
These signs can be used until they graduate. These two examples are identical except I changed them a little so that when they transition into middle/high school, it’s more age-appropriate.

I hope that these signs give you a little sunshine. I know that it is so hard to let them go off to school. Especially nowadays. Speaking of which, I have compiled a list of gadgets to keep your children safe while at school and on their commute.
Rachael says
These signs are so great! I cannot seem to find though where to download these as a JPEG.
Thank you!

I love that these come 11×14! Thank you for making your designs available for free. I would love to use it, but I couldn’t get them to save full size. All I get is a very small image.

Shayla Walker says
Hi. I can’t get the picture to save so that I can print it. Can you email me or something? Thanks for the free printable!
Melissa says
Yes, Ma’am! I sent you an email with the link. Somehow all of my PDF’s got detached. AHHH! I went through and fixed them all this morning. Hope you enjoy these signs! Thanks for reading and commenting.
Melissa says
HEY Shayla. So sorry about that. Somehow all my PDF’s disappeared. They are all back now and checked to make sure they work. Thanks for reaching out.
Shayla says
Thank you so much!! I got it now!
Becky says
Thank you for the first day of school signs…. I love them. Do you happen to have any Last day of school ones? I couldn’t find any when I did the “search this website” search.
Melissa says
Hi Becky! I don’t have any last day of school signs but I will make some in the next week or so that match my current first day of school signs because you asked! : )
Becky says
Thank you!!!!!
Jennifer says
Do you have matching last day of school printables?
Melissa says
I am working on getting them done in the next two days. If you would like to be notified just subscribe and you should see when I publish them this weekend. Cheers
Kristi says
These look great. I’d encourage you to leave off the teacher’s name for safety as most people will post pictures to social media.
Melissa says
Thank you Kristi! I come from a family of teachers. I surveyed over 15 elementary, middle and high school teachers about the same thought and they all said that they were perfectly fine with it as it does not have the school that the child will be attending. Your opinion is valued and appreciated.
Andrea says
I love your signs! Thank you so much for offering these to everybody for free! Me and my Kindergartener had a blast to fill it out and it makes such a nice memory! Thank you a lot!!!!
Melissa says
Yay! I love to hear that. I did start selling them in my Etsy shop this year for a dollar each. But I will still have them here for anyone who is savy enough to google search them and find me! I hope your little one has a great year.
