My friend Katie’s oldest is starting Kindergarten in a few weeks. She mentioned that she’s been on the hunt for some cute printable signs to commemorate the first day of each school year. You know the ones you make your kids hold up in a picture on the first day of school?

Sounds cute, no? We both thought it might be a fun, free printable to offer. Here’s what I came up with. I have options for pre-school through senior year here and will likely do some that can be used for the last day of school too so you can see how much they’ve changed over the school year.

I changed up the design for the older kids. I’m sure there will still be plenty of eye rolling.

Here’s what they look like (if you don’t wait til 3:45 pm in front of your west-facing house on a 100 degree day). Sun grins. We don’t start until next week, but you get the idea!

I also got started thinking it might be fun to do some Seniors Class of … Sign printables. I always loved seeing those photos of a group of us in third grade who all graduated together years later. I hope to get some of the neighborhood boys with their Seniors Class of 2024 sign after they walk home from school on the first day! I have included Seniors Class of 2025 through Seniors Class of 2013. Here’s a cheat sheet for those of you who don’t want to do the math.
