I’m sending a child off to kindergarten this year, which means it must be documented with a first day of kindergarten sign! Since I’m cheap and don’t like paying for printables, I made my own. If you missed last year’s First Day of School Signs, I made a free cursive option (although if you use last year’s you will need to white out the date or cut it off).
This year’s first day of kindergarten sign is bold and colorful! Hope you enjoy! And don’t forget to check out our easy school lunch ideas while you are here!
First Day of Kindergarten Sign (plus all other grades)
If any of your kids are nervous, or not looking forward for school to start, having a fun photo shoot in their back to school clothes can help ramp up the excitement! I like to do photo shoots with the back to school signs before school actually starts, because the first day of school can be chaotic. This also gives me plenty of time to photograph my kid’s different personalities (see below). I also know that it might be a struggle figuring out good photo ideas with your First Day of Kindergarten Sign, so the photo list below should be helpful; especially because the first day of school can be stressful between the first day of school outfits to getting out the door on time.

- Personality Picture: Let your kid’s personality show (you’ll see the goofiness and cuteness coming out from my pictures below)!
- The Traditional: On the front porch with backpacks on.
- The Distressed: Sometimes the first day of school is distressing, it’s okay if your kid frowns… looks scared… or even cries. It’s important to catch the great moments and the not so great moments.
- The Celebration: Some kids love school. Let them celebrate. Turn on some dance music and let the picture taking begin.
- The Parent Celebration: Lately, the internet has gone wild with not only the first day of school pictures but also pictures of parents celebrating their children’s first day of school. Just google it for a good laugh.

I love your signs! Would you be willing to make one for TK?
Thanks!
Rebekah says
I as well love your signs. Wondering if you make last day of school printables as well?
Thanks
Melanie says
Love your signs! Two questions – could you make a first day of 2’s class sign? Also, do you make last-day of school signs. I love for mine to match. Thank you so much!
Lauren says
Thanks! These are super cute! Is it possible to get a matching sign for the last day of school!? Love to document the growth of my son each year! Thank you!!
Alysha says
Very Cute–Only thing is that I believe it’s “Preschool” not “Pre-School.” Any chance you could edit that? I’m being high maintenance but I want to print it for my daughter. 🙂

Thank you so much! Love your signs, this will be my second year using them…
Rachel says
Thanks for posting these! This is my second year to use them and I love your fonts/coloring! Would you be willing to go ahead and change ‘first’ to ‘last’ day of Pre-K so that I can go ahead and print to have ready for the end of the year? I love the comparison of how they change over 9 months! Thanks ago.
Ali says

Last day signs?

Hi! I absolutely loved this sign for my daughter’s first day of kindergarten? I would like a last day of school sign as well so that they match. I checked the site and didn’t see anything….did you make any?
Thanks for your time!
Christina Massey says
Hi! Thank you for the First Day of sign! Will you made a Last Day sign to match?
Lisa says
Can you post Last Day Signs too?
