Back-to-School Custom Tee Ideas for Teachers, Students & Parents

Back-to-School Custom Tee Ideas for Teachers, Students & Parents

Because new beginnings deserve better shirts.

Whether you're a teacher prepping your classroom, a student ready to show up in style, or a parent juggling school supply lists and coffee, one thing’s for sure, back-to-school season calls for a custom tee upgrade.

At Rocket Apparel, we make it easy (and fun) to design shirts that say exactly what you’re thinking. Perfect for classroom spirit, first-day photos, or surviving the drop-off line with style.

Here’s some fresh inspiration for your back-to-school custom tee, and yes, we offer bulk orders for schools, classrooms, and parent groups.

For Teachers

Start the year strong with a tee that says:

  • “Classroom Vibes Only”

  • “Future World-Changers Sit Here”

  • “Coffee. Teach. Repeat.”

  • “In My Calm Teacher Era”

  • “This Class Runs on Kindness (and Caffeine)”

Pro tip: Coordinate tees for your whole grade team for field trips, photo days, or spirit weeks. You’ll look unified and effortlessly cool.

For Students

Let your kid (or inner kid) shine on day one:

  • “First Grade, First Vibe”

  • “Straight Outta Homeroom”

  • “I Paused My Game for This”

  • “Senior Szn 2025”

  • “Ask Me About Recess”

These also make great class gifts or spirit wear, just pick your grade, mascot, or inside joke and we’ll help you bring it to life.

For Parents

Let’s be real, you’ve earned the right to show up in your own statement tee:

  • “Carpool Queen”

  • “#SnackBagCEO”

  • “I Don’t Do Mornings, But I Do Drop-Off”

  • “Back to School = Back to Silence”

  • “Fueled by PTO and Pinot”

Whether you're on the PTA, organizing a fundraiser, or just want to survive September with sarcasm, we’ve got your back (literally).

Bulk Orders? Easy.

Got a whole class, staff team, or parent crew who wants to match? We offer:
