First day of school teacher shirts, from Meet the Teacher to the first bell
Day 1 is the first tick on the number line above your whiteboard, and it is the day a teacher is photographed more than any other: by the classroom door, at Meet the Teacher night, with the grade team on the front steps. This collection is built for those pictures. The Day 1 Number Line tee circles the first tick. The door sign tee says “Welcome to” and your grade, chosen from Pre-K to Fifth Grade. The name plate tee carries the name your students use and your grade in your own words, and the Line Up crewneck sweatshirt is for teachers whose rooms run cold in August.
Grade teams usually pick one design and let each teacher choose her own size, S to 5XL, and her own garment. Tees and the sweatshirt can share a cart. If your team is new to this, the helper chart on the home page shows who does what.
When to order for the first day
Every shirt is made after you order it. Making takes 1-3 business days and transit takes 7-14 business days, so count back 17 business days from Meet the Teacher night, not from the first day itself. In the United States and Canada that usually means ordering in July; in Australia and New Zealand, where the year starts in late January, it means ordering before the holidays. The order-by table counts for you. It is an estimate and not a guaranteed arrival; Shipping & Delivery explains why. Shipping is free, and a size that does not fit can be swapped within 60 days with a free return label.
