Back to School Shirts

Back to school shirts printed with your own photo and name: a kindergarten t-shirt with your child’s picture for the first day, 100 days of school tees, and childhood-photo shirts for teachers and principals. Kids’ designs come on the Comfort Colors youth tee (Youth XS to XL); teacher designs come as a tee, crewneck sweatshirt or hoodie.

Kindergarten t-shirts and first-day-of-school tees for kids

The first-day photo on the front porch is better when the shirt is part of the story. Our kindergarten photo shirt for kids sets your child's picture in vintage black and white under a big headline, and there are matching designs for first through fourth grade. Order the youth size they'll wear now; there's no need to size up a whole year for a first-day shirt.

Midway through the year, the 100 days of school shirt with your kid's photo takes over. Teachers notice when a student shows up with their own face on the 100th day.

Who it's for

  • Parents setting up the first-day porch photo with their kid in a kindergarten tee that has their own face on it.
  • Grandparents mailing a 100th-day shirt to a grandchild across the country.
  • Pre-K, preschool and kindergarten teachers who want a shirt with their own childhood photo for back to school week.
  • Room parents and PTA volunteers collecting a teacher appreciation gift from the class.
  • Grade-level teams ordering matching staff shirts for spirit days.

Teacher shirts with a childhood photo

This is a favorite trick with school staff: a teacher's own kindergarten photo on a shirt with their name. The kindergarten teacher childhood photo shirt and the principal shirt with a retro school photo both work this way. Pre-K and preschool teachers have their own versions: the Pre-K T-shirt with the teacher's childhood photo and the preschool T-shirt built the same way. The full range lives in our teacher collection.

Kindergarten graduation and preschool shirts

At the end of the year, the same kindergarten design doubles as a kindergarten graduation shirt, and parents can order an adult tee to match. A shirt with their photo is a sweet kindergarten graduation gift that costs less effort than a scrapbook and gets worn more.

Photo guidance for school shirts

  • Head-and-shoulders or waist-up, in everyday clothes.
  • Bright light, face toward the camera, nothing cut off.
  • Higher resolution prints sharper; phone photos are fine.

We don't print swimsuit, bath or leotard photos of kids. We also can't print school mascots or logos you don't own, sports or league marks, cartoon characters or celebrities, and you should send only photos you took or have permission to use. If an order includes that kind of content, it's canceled and refunded in full.

Do you have preschool shirt sizes for little kids?

Kids' designs print on the youth tee in Youth XS to XL. Toddler sizes are being added, so check back if your preschooler needs something smaller.

Can a whole kindergarten team order matching teacher shirts?

Yes. Each teacher orders the same design with their own photo and name. Orders of $75 or more ship free in the US, otherwise $5.99 for the first item.

How long until the first-day shirt arrives?

Usually 4 to 8 business days: 1 to 3 to print, then 3 to 5 with USPS. Delivery isn't guaranteed, so order a couple of weeks before school starts.
