FAQs:
How do I print these?
You can definitely print these on your home printer, and it doesn’t have to be super high quality. THIS is the one I use. You can also print at Staples, Office Depot or Kinkos, but I do not recommend printing on photo paper since there is a lot of black ink that could smudge and ruin the copy. I use regular CARDSTOCK or even plain printer paper (just make sure to let it dry).
How do I get the chalkboard background?Ā
The chalkboard background is actually a graphic design style and is printed directly on the paper. No chalkboard required!
Do you have TK?
No, I’m sorry, I do not have TK for this design yet. However I do have TK with THIS set.
I can download some of the pages, but not *this* one.Ā

Amber says
September 5, 2017 at 6:18 amFor some reason they disappeared one by one from the google drive folder!! I clicked on something and it pulled it up but the icons said pdf instead of thumbnails. I downloaded those but it said failed-forbidden. I came here and saw you said to try another browser, so I tried refreshing that page. And it worked!! Thank you so much for your generosity. These printables are timeless and beautiful, and I am so grateful!
Kristin says
September 5, 2017 at 11:53 amOh I’m so glad you were able to get it to work!!

Jessica says
August 24, 2017 at 1:34 pmHI! Love your signs! Do you have a last day of school sign that matches the colored one with books on the side?
Sara S says
August 21, 2017 at 6:44 amI’m having the same trouble as above. I have used the previous year’s chalk boards, but never thought ahead to download for coming years. Now the Google Doc won’t load. I can download the last day of school signs just fine, but I can’t get the first day of school signs. Can you help?
Sara S says
August 21, 2017 at 6:57 amSorry, I meant Google Drive.
Susan Lee says
August 26, 2017 at 4:31 pmHi: I’m having the same issues as Sara S, Lindsay and WRC. Any chance you could email the one for 2nd grade? Google Drive just keeps spinning. If they’re zipped, a whole package would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Susan Lee [email protected]

August 26, 2017 at 7:50 pmI was able to access via Internet Explorer, but not Mozilla Firefox. Very odd, but I’m in good shape now!
Kristin says
August 26, 2017 at 8:31 pmHi, If you’re still having trouble, please try another browser. Thanks!
Kristin says
August 21, 2017 at 12:46 pmSorry for the trouble, for some reason it’s saying printing is disabled. But you can still download. So click the download button and save the file to your computer. You should then be able to print.
WRC says
August 20, 2017 at 6:31 pmI’m so bummed I’m also having issues trying to download the first day chalkboard signs, the last day work but not the other ones š

Katie McCaslin says
August 14, 2017 at 9:35 amHelp!
I have used these the past two years, and had no issues. The last day of school ones pull up fine to print, but I can not get the first day of school ones to show. I even downloaded the new extension that you have via chrome, and they will not show. Years past, they have been right on the site to click, open, and print.
Jen says
August 15, 2017 at 8:15 amI am having the same issue Katie. Love these signs and thank you for making them available Kristin!
Lindsay says
August 16, 2017 at 1:59 pmI am also having trouble with the Google drive for both the first and last day of school chalkboard pages. However, I was able to download the other first day of school prints. Thank you so much for making these prints, Kristin!
Kristin says

Susan Silver says
November 2, 2016 at 7:45 amWould it be possible to get an editable file? I want to give lots of skin, hair, and eye color options as my class lesson is about diversity.
Thanks in advance!!
Susan
Kristin says
November 2, 2016 at 8:38 amHi Susan, As the printables on my site are copyrighted and free for use, they are not to be altered in any way and I am not able to offer editable files.
Lisa says
September 6, 2016 at 8:10 pmhi its not working for me its only printing small not the 8×10 size please help
Kristin says
September 6, 2016 at 8:35 pmBe sure to check the printer settings.
Josie says
September 5, 2016 at 7:29 amWhere’s the link ? Nothing is working foe me :(((
Kristin says
September 5, 2016 at 12:37 pmHi Josie, as you scroll down the page there is a graphic that says “click here to download.” Click that graphic and it will take you to the printables.
Rebecca says
August 23, 2016 at 2:22 amThank you so much! We’ve been using your signs since my daughter was in first grade…she’ll now be in third! Your signs are a part of our back to school tradition! xoxo!
Kari Strube says
August 22, 2016 at 10:02 amI want to print your Printable Chalkboard First Day of School and when I go to the link to download — it brings me to google drive — I can download everything else — even the Last Day of School Chalkboards but not the First Day of School — PLEASE HELP!!
Kristin says
August 22, 2016 at 11:39 amHi Kari, The printables are to be downloaded from Google drive, where they are housed. If you click the download link it should take you to the files where you can then download to your computer or just print from there.
Jessica says
August 20, 2016 at 7:17 amI’m wondering if you offer a free download of a chalkboard background with a sign that just says “first day of school” without a grade number?
Kristin says
August 20, 2016 at 10:14 amSorry, no.
A.L.D says
August 15, 2016 at 8:33 amThese signs are super cute! Do you happen to have any with the current year on them?? Thanks so much!
Kristin says
August 15, 2016 at 9:52 amHi Amy, I don’t add the year to my signs so they are able to be used any year.
Michelle says
August 15, 2016 at 6:56 amHi Kristin!
Your first and last day printable chalkboard signs have honestly become so special to me as I mark these milestones, which are going by in a blink with my 4 kiddos. I started using the “All About Me” documents a couple years ago, but can’t seem to find the first day of school ones anymore. Do you still have those available?
Thank you so much for sharing your creative ideas, and hard work to give moms like me special tools to mark the growing up of their babies, which as I’m sure you know all too well…..goes by oh so quickly!
Much appreciation!
Kristin says
August 15, 2016 at 9:54 amHi Michelle! Thanks for your kind words. I have two interview available:

Wendy Totino says
August 8, 2016 at 7:14 pmHi, what is the biggest size that this can be printed? I was hoping it would print out to an 11×14 maybe???
Kristin says
August 8, 2016 at 7:34 pmHi Wendy! Yes, I have printed them at 11×14 and they came out fine. Actually the ones you see in the photo are that size.
Jennfier says
August 7, 2016 at 12:07 pmI was able to download the pdf. However, I wanted to print at Costco and they don’t take .pdfs. Anyway to get it in .jpg or .bmp?
Kristin says
August 8, 2016 at 7:36 pmSorry I just have them in pdfs. You’d probably be better off printing on cardstock at Kinkos or Staples (it’s cheaper, too!).
Kim says
August 4, 2016 at 4:38 amLove these signs! I was unable to download all but the Kindergarten one, it said it’s blocked. Are you able to check the link or email it? Thanks!
Kim says
August 4, 2016 at 4:38 amThe chalkboard ones š
Kristin says
August 4, 2016 at 8:14 amI just tried and they are all working for me. Could you please try again?
Kim says
August 4, 2016 at 5:51 pmAbove I meant I was able to download all but the kindergarten one, I tried the kindergarten one again and tried it on another computer but it still isn’t working. Can you email it? Thanks for the prompt response š
Mindy says
August 2, 2016 at 6:27 amDo you have to use a certain type of paper to get the chalkboard background?
Kristin says
August 2, 2016 at 7:38 amNope! The chalkboard is part of the image. I recommend printing on cardstock for best results though.
Angelica says
August 1, 2016 at 10:10 pmTruly love your signs. We used them last year but was wondering if you had any with the year on them?
Thanks,
Angelica
Kristin says
August 2, 2016 at 7:40 amNo, I didn’t put the year on them because I wanted them to be able to be used every year.
Ashley F. says
July 31, 2016 at 10:05 amI used the first/last day of school kindergarten chalkboard sign last year and loved it! I’m sad to see that there is no first day of school chalkboard sign for the 1st grade in the download list!! š
Kristin says
July 31, 2016 at 7:34 pmHi Ashley, Yes it’s there. It’s the 4th up from the bottom. They aren’t in numerical order (not sure why but that was just the way they uploaded). Hope that helps!
Jessica says
August 3, 2016 at 8:33 amHello. I love your chalkboard signs! I was able to download and print the 2nd grade one but my computer is saying it cannot download the kindergarten one. Is there any way you could send it to me? I would love to have it for my youngest.
Kristin says
August 3, 2016 at 8:42 amHi Jessica, Please keep trying! Sometimes it takes a few times for the downloads to work given the size of the files. Sorry you’re having trouble!
Jen says
August 9, 2016 at 5:30 pmHello. I have been able to print several others but not the kindergarten one either. Tomorrow is the first day of school. Help! I have printed from here before in previous years but I am having trouble this year.
Kristin says
August 10, 2016 at 9:25 amHi, I’m sorry you’re having trouble. We have tested and re-tested the Kindergarten page and have not have trouble. Please try closing out your browser and clear your cache and then try again. Thanks!
Kim says
August 5, 2016 at 8:06 amHi Jessica. Did you ever get the kindergarten one to download? It’s not working for me.
Nicole says
June 6, 2016 at 8:38 amI love your signs and have been using them for my own kids and in my classroom for the past few years. Would you be able to make a First Day and Last Day of TK (Transitional Kindergarten) sign? Thanks so much!!
