First day of school photos are fun, but sometimes when you homeschool year-round, the first day can blend into other days, and you don’t get those cute “First Day of ___th Grade” photos taken.

Whether you are all ready for school to start again or if you are more of a Type B personality and forgot to take those cute pictures on your first day, here are some cute printables for you to use with your “Back to School” and “First Day” pictures.

There are four different versions of the “First Day of School” printable with dark and light backgrounds.

These First Day of School printables come in two different main styles with both a lighter color background and dark, chalkboard style background.

Plus there is an undated “Random Day Near the Beginning of (__th) Grade” in both the light and dark backgrounds just in case you didn’t grab a photo of your kids on the very first day of your homeschool year. (Like maybe happens to me almost every year! LOL)

There are also three photo props with the words “1st Day of High School” or “Random Day Near the beginning of High School” in both light and dark backgrounds.

NOTE: These printables have been updated for 2025
