2025-2026 First Day of School Printable Charts
Hello Remodelaholics! My name is Michelle and I am the editor of a creative lifestyle blog called Elegance and charm and I also run a stationery shop/print shop called Enchanted Footprints. Regular readers, you may remember some of the recent projects I’ve shared, including these BBQ invitations and on Artistic prints I designed for #deckthewalls a week.
While I’m sad to say goodbye to summer in the coming months, I’m excited to share some new downloadable printables that will make going back to school a little more fun for the new school year.
I’m all about documenting every moment and I take way too many pictures. Am I the only one who keeps pushing my phone’s memory limits?
Although I don’t have kids of my own, if I did, you better bet the first day of school would turn into a full-on photo shoot. Maybe I better not…my kitties already hate me for taking so many pictures of them!
For those of you who do have the kids back to school next month and you plan to take happy pictures with your camera, these signs will be the perfect addition to your first day of school photos.
These back-to-school printables are available with the year pre-filled (just print, cut, and snap!) as well as an editable date version to use year after year (in an easy-to-fill-out PDF format). For both versions I have set you up with a set of 16 different printsto cover everything from the first day of preschool through middle school to 12th grade of high school. The PDF also includes a homeschool option, plus a reader suggested that the first day of school is the first day off for parents, so I added that too!
And, by popular demand, with this year’s edit file, I’ve included a bonus file that includes 14 more classes/schools for a total of 30 options at no extra cost! (See a full list of what’s included with your purchase here.)
Each sign is set up to print these black and white signs on 8.5 x 11 paper. The pre-filled signs for the current year include cut lines for an 8×10 print to place in a photo frame; editable year characters are for full-page printing (no cropping) to fit within a document frame.
*All Remodelaholic printables are for personalnon-commercial use only. Use it
Do you want to include your child’s name and the teacher’s name?
Use these printable infographic school signs instead! Try it classic color block style (in 7 colors) or first day of school sign in colorful confetti style for printing.
Both first day of school signs include your child’s name and grade, plus age, school or teacher, and future career aspirations for “when they grow up.”
(PS: Get the matching birthday sign to include all their favorite things!)
