Are you ready for your kids to head back to school? I’m making it a little easier to prepare for the first day of school with these free first Day of School Signs. Just download and print!

I have to admit that I’m sad that summer is ending but I’m looking forward to getting back into the school routine. We’ve all been staying up a little too late these past few weeks.

This is an exciting year in our house because Connor is starting high school and Easton is going into second grade.  I still can’t believe I have a high schooler. And, as we head back to school, we all know we have to take those obligatory first day of school pictures.  It’s always fun to look back and see how much they’ve changed from the first day of school to the last and I love seeing how much they’ve changed from one year to the next.

Free Printables for First Day of School Signs

I actually made these First Day of School Chalkboard Signs last year for few friends and finally decided to share them here.  I’ve created a sign for your child’s first day of preschool, kindergarten, middle school, high school and 1st grade through 12th grade.  If you need another version, please feel free to email me. These will be updated every year to include the current school year dates.

These printables are so much fun and a great photo prop for the first day of school and an easy way to create a special keepsake for the school year. And, they are great for kids of all ages!

How to Print First Day of School Free Printable Signs

I highly recommend printing these printables on white cardstock. Cardstock is thicker than regular paper and works better with printables that require a lot of ink like these chalkboard signs.  When I’ve tried to print on regular printer paper I’ve found that the ink causes the paper to wrinkle a little especially if the printable requires a lot of ink.

I also recommend using a professional printing service to get the best quality. I go to Office Depot or Staples a lot to print my printables. I’ve also used Shutterfly and Walgreens to print large printables.  Most printables use a lot of ink so it may even save you money to get them professionally printed.
