Back to School 2025

Rutherford County Schools remains deeply committed to our mission: to prepare all students for lifelong learning in partnership with families and communities. As we welcome the start of a brand-new school year, we celebrate not just the first day—but the journey ahead for every student.

To help you capture those special “first day” memories, we’ve created Back-to-School Photo Signs for every grade level! These fun, colorful signs make it easy to mark the start of your child’s new adventure.

Here’s how to join in:

Download & Print – Select your child’s grade level from our list and print the sign at home.
Snap the Photo – On the first day of school, hand your child the sign, find a great spot, and take a picture!
Share the Excitement – Email your photo to [email protected]. We’ll feature some of these moments on our social media outlets.

If you prefer to post on your own social media, don’t forget to tag us so we can celebrate with you. Use our hashtags: #RCSBTS25 and #RCSBackToSchool to connect with our community of families, friends, and educators.

Let’s make this school year’s beginning one to remember—full of smiles, milestones, and shared joy.
