Printable First Day of School Banners for 2024-2025
Hey design junkies! 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 and print shop called Enchanted Prints. Frequent readers, you may remember some of the recent projects I’ve shared including these BBQ invites and the art prints I designed for #deckthewalls week.
While I’m sad that we’ll be saying goodbye to summer in the coming months, I’m excited to share with you some new printables that will make back-to-school even more fun for the new school year.
I love documenting every moment and taking tons of photos. Am I the only one who is constantly pushing the limits of my phone’s storage capacity?
Even though I don’t have kids, if I did, the first day of school would definitely turn into a full-on photoshoot. It’s probably best not to… my cats already hate me for taking so many pictures of them!
For those of you who have kids who are going back to school next month, and plan to take happy pictures with your camera, these signs will be the perfect addition to your first day of school photos.
I’ve put together a set of 16 printables for you, covering everything from the first day of preschool through middle school and up to 12th grade. The PDF also includes a homeschool option, plus a reader suggested that the first day of school is the first day of freedom for parents, so I included that too!
By popular demand, along with the year-round editable file, I’ve added an additional file that includes 14 more classes/schools for a total of 30 options! (See the full list of what’s included with your purchase here.)
Each banner is prepared to print these black and white banners on 8.5 x 11 paper. The pre-filled banners for the current year include crop lines for 8 x 10 printing to fit in a picture frame; the year-adjustable banners are full pages printable (no cropping) to fit a document frame.

Do you want to include your child’s name and your teacher’s name?
Use these printed school banners instead! Try the classic colorful style (in 7 colors) or the colorful printed first day of school banner.
First day of school signs include your child’s name and grade, as well as their age, school or teacher, and future career aspirations “when I grow up.”
