Why this board

The board that grows with them

Most first-day signs get used once. This one tracks every grade — slide the ruler, swap the tag, snap the photo. Year after year.

📏

Sliding grade ruler

A real wooden ruler runs across the board with a movable arrow. Slide it from Pre-K → K → 1st → all the way to 12th. One board, thirteen first-day photos.

Others: one grade, one use
🔠

Cut as their letter

The whole board is your child's initial — A for Ava, S for Sophia — their name raised in 3D wood on a classic lined-paper design.

Others: same shape for everyone
🔁

"1st" & "Last" magnet tags

Two magnetic tags swap in a second between First Day and Last Day of school. Reusable every single year.

Others: prints you throw away

Questions, answered

Before you ask

How does the sliding ruler work?

A real wooden ruler runs across the board with a movable arrow marker. Each new school year, just slide the arrow to your child's current grade — Pre-K through 12th. The same board records every single year.

When will it arrive?

Free design proof within 24 hours. After you approve, crafting + delivery takes 15–20 days with tracking. Ordering in July = relaxed; late August = message us first.

What if I don't like the design?

You get a free proof within 24h and unlimited revisions. We never cut until you approve. If we can't make you happy at the proof stage, full refund.

Can we really reuse it every year?

Yes — that's the whole point. Slide the ruler to the new grade, swap the "1st"/"Last" magnetic tag, and take the photo. The letter, name and icons stay theirs forever.

Is it safe for little hands?

5mm solid plywood, smooth hand-finished edges, child-friendly paint, no glass, no sharp corners.

One board. Every first day.
From their very first letter to their last.

Lock in the launch price for the 2026 school year — your free design proof is 24 hours away.
