There are 4 Versions of Last Day of School Sign. Versions A, B, C and D:

Version A has a blank banner for writing in the school year or your child’s name.

Version B has a banner to write in your child’s name. Then, there are additional slots for writing down Teacher’s name, school name, age, and what I want to be when I grow up. Finally, you can write the date in the blank pencil.

If you don’t already own a colored printer at home, I highly recommend the HP Deskjet Wireless Printer, which has printing, copying, and scanning functions. The BEST part, however is the HP Instant Ink Program which I absolutely LOVE!

In the HP Instant Ink Program, you can print colored (or black and white) pages for a very affordable monthly fee, depending on your printing needs. The most basic plan is 10 pages for 99c per month, and unused prints rollover to the next month!

Once the ink cartridge runs low, HP will send you new cartridge straight to your door so that you never run out of ink. All you pay for is the number of prints you make, not the ink cartridge.

For years I would run to the local print shop for my colored printing needs. However, my local print shop is only open until 5pm daily and not open on the weekends.

What is a desperate mama supposed to do on a Sunday night when she needs something last minute for school on Monday morning?!

The HP instant ink program has definitely been a life saver and I can’t recommend it more!

Tips for Taking the Perfect Last Day of School Photo

Want photos you’ll actually want to frame? Here are a few quick tips:

Use Natural Lighting

Take pictures outdoors or near a window for the best lighting.

Keep It Simple

A clean background helps the sign and your child stand out.

Include Their Backpack or Favorite School Items

Sports gear, books, lunchboxes, or art projects can make the photo more personal.

Take Multiple Shots

Kids move fast — snap several photos to get the perfect smile.

Compare With First Day Photos

Recreate the same pose from the beginning of the school year for a fun before-and-after memory.

Fun Ways to Celebrate Last Day of School

After the photos are done, keep the celebration going with a few fun traditions:

• Ice cream outing
• Backyard water balloon fight
• Movie night
• Summer countdown chain
• Special breakfast
• End-of-year interview questions
• Memory scrapbook page

These small traditions often become the moments kids remember most!

Once you download the PDF, simply print it out on letter size paper and you are ready to go! For optimum quality, I highly recommend printing with one of the options below (I printed mine on regular paper, and it was a little flimsy and harder to take a nice photo):

• Print On Cardstock – makes the sign more stiff so it’s easier to hold up for photos (especially if you plan to take photos outside!)
• Print on Regular Paper and Laminate – I recommend the Scotch Thermal Laminator
• Print on Regular paper and Put into a Photo frame – Again, adds durability to the sign. Also easier for little kids to grab onto a picture frame versus holding a piece of paper.
• Enlarge and Print on Foam Board at the Print shop – Perfect for reusing if you have multiple children in the home! The enlargement also makes the sign easy to see in photos.

Happy summer and congratulations to all the students finishing another amazing school year!
