So, you can bookmark this page and come back every year for the same design with the new school year, or you can mix it up and use a new first day of school sign for the kids every year. These first day of school signs are up-to-date for the current school year, and we’ll continue to add on new designs here as we create them. I am the worst procrastinator, and would never think about printing out the signs until the night before, or worse, the very morning of the first day of school! So, I started making the signs for other families to help them with their own photos. But then, looking back we realized we couldn’t always tell which year it was! The first few years of school, we just took photos of the kids in front of their school or outside of the house. We started using these first day of school signs so that it would be easy to see exactly which year and grade the kids were in. We’ve created these free printables for all of the grades, from the First Day of Preschool, First Day of Kindergarten, and on up through the Twelfth Grade so you can get great pictures of all of the kids! Choose your favorite First Day of School Signs for your back to school photos.
