Free Printable Welcome Signs and Classroom Door Signs

About these welcome and door signs handouts

A classroom door sets the tone before anyone steps in the room. These five signs cover what teachers usually need at the door: a landscape welcome sign that you can retitle, a nameplate with your room, name, class and grade, a hanger for the door handle, a sign that tells visitors where the class has gone, and a one-page introduction for families on open house night.

The welcome sign has a heavy frame, a ribbon for a subtitle and a pair of lines for your name and class. Change the title if you want something other than Welcome, such as Bienvenidos or Welcome Back. The nameplate puts a room number in a large badge, with the school, teacher, class and grade on the right. Type each into its box and the sign prints with your words.

The door hanger is cut out, with a circle and a slit for the handle. Its title and subtitle are editable, so it can say Learning in Progress on one printing and Testing in Progress on another. The where-are-we sign lists ten common places with a box beside each, so you check the box with a marker, write a return time, and hang it on the door when the class steps out.

The meet-the-teacher page is a fill-in introduction with a frame for a photo or a drawing. It works well taped to the desk at open house, or sent home in a welcome folder. All five signs keep to a simple palette that matches the other decorations in the style picker.

How to use them

1. Open the fill-in boxes and type your name, class, school, grade and room number. Leave a box empty to write by hand.
2. Pick a color style. Bright primary is easiest to see from the hallway; black and white saves ink.
3. Print on cardstock for anything that hangs on a door. Laminate the where-are-we sign so you can check and wipe it.
4. For the door hanger, cut around the dashed outline, then cut out the circle and slit.
5. Mount the sign at eye level with removable tape or putty so it does not damage the door.

Classroom tips

• Laminate the where-are-we sign and use a dry-erase marker. You will reuse it every time your class leaves the room.
• Check that the hanger title is short. A phrase over about twenty letters will run past the edge of the narrow hanger.
• Print the nameplate on cardstock in a color that contrasts with your door, so it stands out when the hallway is busy.
• At open house, put the meet-the-teacher page in a plastic stand on the desk. Families like having something to read while they wait.

Notes on this page

• Type your name, class, school, grade and room before printing.
