5 FREE Back to School Printable Sign Sets
Need fun printable signs for your back to school kids pictures?
Over the last few years, it has become an increasingly popular tradition among many parents to take back to school pictures where their kids hold up printable signs stating what grade they will be going into that year. I love this tradition. I think it is a super cute idea and I love these pictures way better than any of the school pictures I have ever seen. These back to school pictures are a fun way to not only get more pictures for your family photo album but to also get your kids excited to be going back to school. I even know of a bunch of homeschool parents who do this.

I was having fun in illustrator today and designed 5 different back to school sign designs. Three of the designs are in the now popular Black chalkboard style with white or colorful writing and design elements and two are in color. All the printables are in PDF format on 8.5 x 11-inch paper. They are ready to print (at home or at a local copy center) and use. If you are looking for a good color printer to print these and other printables throughout the year I highly recommend the Canon MG7720 Wireless All-In-One Printer with Scanner and Copier (I love mine and even use it with my Cricut to do Print & Cut projects): You can get the printer here on Amazon.
Each Back to School printable set comes with printables for Pre-K through 12th Grade. I didn't add the year so if you like the design you can use them over and over again. Click HERE to find LAST DAY of School Printable Signs
**It was brought to my attention that I accidentally misspelled Kindergarten on the signs. I am totally embarrassed and have fixed the signs so that the error is corrected.

I would have loved to use these but Kindergarten is spelled wrong.
Seriously? I am soo sorry. I will fix them right away. I was working on them in illustrator with my kids hanging around and there is no spell check. Thanks for catching that.
I've tried to download the colorful chalkboard designs, but I download the converter and then can't find what to do next. Please help.
They should be ready to print PDF files. If you can't open pdf's on your computer you can download Adobe reader for free to do so. You can get it here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/
All copy centers can open PDF files as well to print.
Love them all, but is there a way you could add Preschool instead of Pre-K as an option on them? Especially on the Chalkboard Rainbow Dot and Chalkboard Pink Floral! 🙂 Thanks so much and thank you for sharing!
Love these printable Julie Ann - they are fabulous for Back to school
Thanks! I am glad you like them!
Thanks for sharing these, I used the simple black/white chalkboard ones yesterday and had so many compliments on it! Is there a way that you could also do a "Last Day" in the same formats? I would love to have the same format to be able to put the pictures side-by-side. Thanks so much again for sharing these!
Oh I am soooo glad.
Super cute! Are these available for last day of school?
Yes they are.

Hi Julia! Just coming across this post. I'm in California, and here we have Transitional Kindergarten. I love these signs, but I can't use them! Would it be possible to get an editable version? Or add "Transitional Kindergarten" or simply "TK" if it doesn't fit? Thank you so much!
I was looking for this version with the colored dot 🙂
I can't get the first day pink floral signs to print . when I click on it goes to another page please help . Thanks
When you clicked on the link in my Back to school sign post it should have sent you to my Education Printables Page (Here is the direct URL https://thequietgrove.com/store/free-printables/educational-printables/) All you have to do is scroll down till you find the printable you want and enter your name and email. When you do 2 emails will be automatically sent to you. 1 confirming your subscription to my e-newsletter and 1 with the instant download link to the printable you requested. (If you don't see both emails right away then check your spam/junk box. Sometimes due to your email settings 1 or both of the emails can end up there.) If you need anything else just let me know.
Julia
Is there any chance you would be able to make one that says First Day of Grade 2/3? I'm teaching a combined class this year and I would love it in either the first or second design you have posted. Thanks!!
Kelly, I I can totally do that for you. I would just need to know what email you would like the design sent to. (oh and which design you like better the colored dot or colored pencil.) -Julia
I've read a few of the comments, but can't see whether or not you've provided a "First Day of Preschool" sign. I'd love one with the dots. If so please let me know how I can get my email to you. Thank you for offering these free printables!
I Have been too busy with projects to make the preschool printables for all the styles however, I think I can take a few minutes to do it for the dotted version for you. Can you email me at thequietgrove@gmail.com with this request so I know where to email the printable to.
I downloaded and printed the First day chalkboard rainbow dot version. On the Kindergarten page only the word "Kindergarten" shows in the red dot (center top) and the whole thing is a bit off center. Is there any chance you would be willing to adjust it a bit?
PS- You ROCK for sharing your creative talent with the rest of us for free! Even if you don't have time to make this edit I still really appreciate this website!
I can't believe I missed that. Thanks for letting me know. I have now fixed it for others coming after you. If you let me know what email you want me to send the fixed copy to I can resend it asap.
I was able to request the download again with the corrected file. I'm all set. THANK YOU again!!!!
Oh I am glad. If you need anything else just let me know!
Hello! Love your designs!!! Could you please make one for a TODDLER class?
Which design, what would you want it to say and what email would you like it sent to?
Thank you so much! these are perfect. it let each of my kids pick a different one!
Oh I am glad you like them all!
These are lovely! Would it be possible to add a first and last day of 'Grade R' please. I'm from South Africa and our kindergarten year is called Grade R. I would really appreciate it.
I am sure I can do so for you. Which sign design do you want it in?
Is there one in the rainbow dot that says Stop Crying Mom? I would like that one to match the first day of preschool in rainbow dot.
I could make one for you
Just let me know what email to send it to.
I love these! My favorite is the colored pencil one!
Hi! I love the chalkboard rainbow dots signs, but how can I get the preschool sign?
Each design comes as a ready to Print PDF file with all 14 signs (pre-K through 12th grade) After you download the file you just select which page you want to print.
I was just wondering if there was a sign that said Preschool instead of pre-K. If not, no worries. This is the 3rd year that I use your signs for my oldest son (pre-K, Kinder, and 1st Grade last week), and my littlest is about to start preschool. Thank you for making all these signs, they're all so cute 🙂
which design?
chalkboard rainbow dot
Ok Let me see what I can do
