Back to school time is drawing near, so it's time for us to share the latest update on our printable first day of school signs! These photo signs and the matching last day of school signs have been updated for the 2017-2018 school year, and don't miss the other four customizable printable school photo signs we shared here as well. 
Hi Remodelaholics! For those who don't know me, my name is Michelle and I'm the editor of a creative lifestyle blog called Elegance & Enchantment and I also run a stationery/print shop called Enchanted Prints. Regular readers, you may remember some of the recent projects I've shared including these BBQ Invitations and the Art Prints I designed for #deckthewalls week. While I'm sad that we will be saying goodbye to summer in the coming months, I'm excited to share some new printables that will make going back to school just a little more fun.
I'm all about documenting every moment and take entirely too many photos. Am I the only one who is constantly pushing the limits of their phone storage? While I don't have kiddos of my own, if I did, you better bet that the first day of school would turn into a full on photoshoot. Maybe it's better that I don't…my kitty cats already hate me for taking so many photos of them!
For those of you who do have kids heading back to school next month, and plan on getting snap happy with your camera, these signswill make the perfect addition to those first-day photos.
I've set you up with a set of 15 different printables, to cover everything from pre-school through 12th grade. Each sign is set up as an 8 x 10 print on 8.5 x 11 paper, that can easily be trimmed out with some scissors.

Hi! These First Day of … signs are awesome, but I have a question: If I print them out does all the copyright stuff show up on the paper? I don’t want to use that much ink to find out. Thank you
Hi Angel! Glad you like them. Yes, the copyright stuff will show up, but there’s a border for you to trim them out so it won’t show up in your photos. 🙂
These are great Michelle! Usually I design my own and totally ran out of time this year so you’re saving me! 🙂
Glad you can use them Kim! It means a lot, being that you are such an amazing designer yourself. 🙂 Happy School Year!
Love that you incorporated the date!! Do you have the same style for last day of school?
We will! 🙂 Follow along by email or RSS so you get the update when we post them. Thanks!
Hi Jen! Just added some “Last Day” signs to the post— enjoy!
I wondered if you have an editable file? I want to do a joke on of sorts for my husband starting medical school tomorrow 🙂 Thank you!
Hi Chandee! Sorry I’m getting back to you so late. If you’d like me to create something custom for you, I can create it in my Etsy store. Make sure to mention that you are a Remodelaholic reader so I can pass along a discount.
These are great! Will you be making matching last day of school ones too???
Yes, we will! Be sure to follow along or sign up for emails so you can see when we post them 🙂
Thanks for adding the last day ones too! These are great!
You’re very welcome, Kim! Enjoy your year!
Thanks Kim! You got it— “Last Day” signs were just added to the post!
These are wonderful! I love the fonts and everything is perfectly legible!! Will you be creating a last day of school sign? It would be so cool to have matching pics for my kiddos. Thanks!
We’ve had several requests and yes, Michelle has agreed to make last day of school signs for us, too — so sign up for emails or follow along so you can see when those are posted later in the school year, too. Thanks, Rebecca!
Hi Rebecca! “Last Day” signs have just been added to the post! Enjoy!
Hi Rebecca! “Last Day” signs have just been added to the post!
hello! I LOVE these signs and would love to use them every year for all my kids. do you by chance have a file with no specific date included? If not, is this something I could order and purchase from you? Thank you! Great design!
Hi Ella! Thanks so much for your kind words. I actually just added an editable version to my Etsy shop, which can be purchased here. If you’d like an editable set of “last day” signs as well, I’ve set up a special coupon code for Remodelaholic readers to get those as a free download when purchased with the editable “first day” signs. Just add both sets to your cart in Etsy and use coupon code REMODELAHOLIC at checkout! Enjoy!
Thank you for these! Perfect!
You’re very welcome, Liz! Enjoy! 🙂
Love these!! I would love to use them this year with my students. I teach in Canada – we ‘say’ Grade Two instead of Second Grade. Anyway, you could add one of those?
Hi Andrea! Thanks so much for checking out the signs! If you head over to my Etsy shop and send me a message, letting me know that you are Remodelaholic reader, I’d be happy to make the customization for you at a discounted price! I can even add the name of your school if you’d like. 🙂
Thank you very much for your hard work, they are very cute signs. It will help the first day of first grade a little more fun for my twin girls.
You’re very welcome, Becca! How sweet! Hope your girls are having a great start to the year.
Thank you so much! Sharing!
Thanks!
Printing a sign for my oldest’s first day of preschool tomorrow. I can’t believe it’s here already!
Aw! Happy first day of school and best wishes to your little (big) one. 🙂
Thank you so much for making these prints available for free 🙂 .
These are too cute! Thanks for sharing for FREE! 🙂
Hi, I LOVE your signs and used them in a Youtube video and my blog linking back to you!! I hope you get some traffic your way!!!
https://youtu.be/U12471uvxYE
Thanks for sending us the link, Erin! Glad you like them! (And yes, we do plan to have them updated for every school year 🙂
I love these, but the ones sent to me were 2015-2016. I was hoping for the newest ones pictured. Thank you for offering these for free!
Hi Beth, Sorry about that! I’ve updated the file correctly now, so you can click the button and have it emailed to you. Drop me a line if that doesn’t work 🙂
I’m so excited that you updated these signs! Any plans for updating the last days also? Thanks so much!
Yup! We’ll have those updated for sure!
Hi Hailey – The last day of school signs are updated now! https://www.remodelaholic.com/printable-last-day-school-signs/
When should we look for the last of school signs? I like to store them with my school calendar so I don’t forget since the end of the school year is always hectic. Thanks!
So smart! We are hoping to get them up sooner rather than later (since there are lots of planners like you asking as well, smart!) but if you’ll subscribe to our email newsletter, then you’ll get an email when it is up. I’ll try to remember to comment here as well 🙂 Here’s the link to sign up: https://www.remodelaholic.com/email-newsletter/
Hi Alis! The last day of school signs are updated now! https://www.remodelaholic.com/printable-last-day-school-signs/
Thanks for making these signs for those of us who aren’t so crafty / creative! Quick question though – I clicked on the link to take me to your Etsy shop to buy the printable version, but it says it’s “Sold” and doesn’t give me the option to buy. There is an option to buy the last day of school signs though. Have you stopped selling the editable version or is that a glitch of some sort?
Hi Lori, The listing was temporarily sold out, but Michelle has it fixed now. Let me know if I can help with anything else!
Requested the email for the download. When I click on “Claim Your Download” I get an error message. Please help!
Hi Deb,
So sorry for the trouble! Will you email me at hello@remodelaholic.com with whatever details you remember from the error message? Thanks!
So weird it’s working now! Earlier I was pulling my email into Outlook and clicking from there. Just now I tried directly from Gmail and it worked. Thanks for the reply!
I’m glad it’s working now! Happy first day! 🙂
Hi! I work at a school for kids with Autism and we were able to find a free printable last year on some site that said “first day of school” with the 2015-2016 Also on it. Our kids aren’t exactly in grades so this was perfect! Is there anyway you could send a sign that just says school instead of the grade? We’d be so thankful and appreciative. If not, that’s okay! Have a great day!
Hi Kelsey,
We do have these other signs that are free and editable to list the school like you’re wanting to do (two of the styles are editable; not the chalkboard one but the other two): https://www.remodelaholic.com/free-printable-set-first-day-of-school-signs/
Or if you want this one to say something custom, pop over to Michelle’s Etsy shop and send her a message there and I bet she can fix you up with what you’re wanting! https://www.etsy.com/shop/EnchantedPrints
Happy first day of school!
Hi, thanks for the reply! I cannot figure out how to edit them? My computer skills leave much to be desired and we can’t spend any classroom money on the signs. Is there something I’m missing about how to edit them to just say school?
Thanks,
Kelsey
Hi Kelsey,
You’ll just need to open the signs in Adobe Reader and then there is a blank sign for those two designs that will let you click and type in whatever you want — I believe the blank editable sign is the last one of each design. (So you can’t edit the 1st, 2nd, etc, just the blank one). Drop me an email at hello@remodelaholic.com if that’s not working for you and I’ll see what I can do to help.
Thank you so much for making these available! I love them! Small request…is it possible to make a “First day of T-K”? I used your first day of preschool but now my son is going into “T-K” which I guess is a new thing???
Thought it would be worth asking!! Thank you! 🙂
Hi Kimberly! So glad you love the signs. There are so many different names for preschool, kindergarten and pre-k, which we had not accounted for. I am figuring out a way to accommodate all of those requests for next year, but unfortunately I’m not able to make it happen for this school year. I apologize for the inconvenience! Happy School year to you!
Hello Michelle! Just wanted to say a super big thank you! I used your signs last year and my school district has a social media hashtag for the first day of school pictures. My kids’ photo from last year with your sign is on the district’s webpage and my husband and I have been receiving phone calls and texts all day – we’re feeling so loved! Thanks for sharing!
I absolutely love these fist day of school signs, but for some reason when I provide my email I don’t receive anything.
Sorry about the trouble! If you’ll drop me a line at hello@remodelaholic.com, I’ll get things straightened out for you 🙂
Hi! I love these signs and plan on using it for my daughter who is starting kindergarten this year. Will you be updating these every year with the new years on them so I can keep using the same looking sign for kinder-12th grade?
Hi Kaella! We are so happy to hear that you’re loving the signs. Congrats to your little gal. Hope you’re both excited for the school year. 🙂 It’s our plan to keep updating these (last day of school signs too), so hope that you’ll stay connected and come back to download again at the end of the year.
These are adorable! For some reason the first sign isn’t showing up in the email I received.. It is the one I was hoping to use for my kids first day of school tomorrow :(. Is there any way I could get that tonight??
Never mind! I submitted my email info again and it sent me just that set of “first day” printables. Thanks so much! (I was just going to erase my comment but couldn’t figure out how!)
So glad it worked for you. Hope you had/have a great first day!
