The need for signs is consistent throughout every organization but especially in school settings where the safety of students is the top priority. There are many different types of signs which are needed to maintain a safe and functional school environment.
At FASTSIGNS® of Sacramento-Arden-Arcade, CA, we have experience producing all types of signs for schools, colleges, universities, Montessori schools and other learning facilities. From ADA-compliant signage to wayfinding and directional signs, we understand the unique challenges and requirements to outfit a school with a comprehensive sign package.
1) Parking Lot Signs
Schools with large parking lots or multiple parking areas need easy-to-read signs to help direct traffic flow and prevent accidents. Parking lot signs include handicap-accessible parking spaces and reserved parking spots for faculty and staff.
Key benefits of parking signs:
- Minimize traffic congestion
- Reduce chances of accidents
- Make it easy for visitors to find parking
2) Building Signs
Most schools have multiple buildings on campus, which house various classrooms, offices, laboratories, and other facilities. Building signs help visitors and students navigate the school grounds and find their way to specific locations.
Key benefits of building signs:
- Direct traffic flow
- Help visitors find their way
- Make it easy for people to identify buildings
3) Classroom Signs
Once inside a school building, students and visitors need to be able to find individual classrooms. Classroom signs usually include the room number but may also list the teacher’s name or the subject being taught. Inside the classroom, signs may be posted to list the rules, indicate the location of fire exits, and post other important information.
Key benefits of classroom signs:
- Help students find their way
- Promote a positive learning environment
- Inform students of the rules
4) Sanitation and Restroom Signs
Proper sanitation and hygiene are crucial in school settings to prevent the spread of illness. Sanitation signs are posted in bathrooms, cafeterias, and other areas to remind students and staff to wash their hands, practice proper cough etiquette, and take other precautions.

- Prevent the spread of illness
- Promote a clean and healthy environment
- Encourage good hygiene habits
5) Safety Signs
Safety is always a top priority in school settings. There are many types of safety signs to help protect students, staff, and visitors. Fire exit signs and first-aid signs are required by law in all schools, and other safety signs are often posted to remind students of other rules, such as no running in the halls.

- Prevent accidents
- Promote a safe environment
- Comply with safety regulations
