USC School Sign with custom brick base in foyer

This is entirely up to you! Signs for schools are often two-sided so that they can be viewed from both directions, but it really depends on the placement of your sign. Along the roadway or main pick up and drop off area is the most popular option, but you may also place a sign at your primary courtyard (like USC did in their campus!), main doors, office area, as a menu board, gift shop price list, and more.

You can layer your signs in a variety of combinations. The most popular option for schools is a logo sign with a message board underneath.

Yes! The sign itself is black, like a flat screen TV, but much more robust, and has built in programmability. However, signs must be mounted on a secure base—with or without a steel frame. Choose a brick base in a color that matches your school exterior or a steel pedestal. The steel pedestal and frame come in any color, just send us over the color you wish to use, or a hex code for the color you are interested in. Our talented designers will come up with a mockup within 72 hours! We make the sign buying process completely easy.

Your sign can be mounted in a variety of ways, including a brick or a steel base. The size and weight of your sign play a contributing factor as to how it can be mounted—and even how wide or tall the mount can be.

Oversized school displays must be mounted on a steel pedestal or a low and wide brick base. A standard brick base for an oversized sign is 18 feet off the ground and 76 feet wide. Steel pedestals can be mounted at either 40, 48, 60, 72, or 84 feet off the ground. Custom mounting is an option and signs can also be mounted to walls and building exteriors.

Don’t forget, the mounting location must be approved for stability and local license/permit requirements.

Post anything you want and alternate a variety of signs! Provide general information such as the weather, date, and time. Post a school spirit message or inspirational quote. Share the lunch menu. Remind parents of parent teacher conferences, half days, and school closures. Post the winning score of last night’s game.

Post the schedule for daily and upcoming games and events. Share photos and videos. Highlight students and faculty. Share the campus directory. Post school or event contact information. Outline your most recent COVID and safety protocols, and how to safely integrate back to school. Your options are endless.

The sky is the limit when you use MEGA School Signs!

Campus Directory & Virtual Tours

Wahluke School Sign

Strategically placed School signs highlighting the campus directory can be helpful the first week of school as new students learn their way around campus. If you have a new set of buildings, recent remodel, or have kids in for the day touring your campus—you could also share a series of images that act as a virtual tour.

You can even upload an image of your campus and have a you are here sign for all different locations so students can easily navigate their first days of school.

School Signs Upcoming Special Events

Help build excitement and anticipation, as well as participation in your school’s upcoming special events. From school spirit week to the Friday night football game, prom, an upcoming play, guest speaker, bake sale, fundraising event, and more. Your signs for schools can include all information related to the special event such as when and where, and how much the tickets are if tickets are required.

Don’t just announce the event but create a fun countdown. Maybe even share a few photos from a previous game or event. Make it a gallery with 3 different screens showing all the above! In the new digital age, standout and get your message across with your School Signs.

Helpful Tips

Think outside the box to consider meaningful ways you can engage your students with electronic signs for schools. Before finals, you could post an infographic of study tips. During cold and flu season you could share tips for boosting your immunity. During the summer you could share tips for staying hydrated in the humid weather. If not helpful tips, share fun facts about your local area, the school, season, trending topics, and more.

Celebratory Messages for The Staff

Digital signs for schools are primarily for the students but don’t forget your staff. You could post a message celebrating each teacher or staff member’s birthday or anniversary. You could announce new coaches and extracurricular teachers. If a teacher or staff member receives an outside nomination or award, or if their work is published somewhere you can announce it on one of your signs too.

You could even rotate staff profiles and fun facts to help students get to know their teachers and support staff better. Your new digital sign can even be a focal point for students to gather, to see what new announcements are coming up!

Celebratory Messages for Students

Jefferson High School Sign

You can use your signs for schools to celebrate student’s and their accomplishments too. Post a photo of the science fair winners, the winning team in last nights game, students who are most improved, students who made the honor roll, and celebrate students who are active in their community. Instead of outdated interchangeable signs, invest in a digital school sign to REALLY drive any message you want.

Sports & Extracurricular Announcements

Students are just as busy with their after school commitments as they are during the school day. Help kids stay up to date by announcing sports and extracurricular news through your digital signs. This could be to encourage the student body to come out in support of an upcoming game, performance, or event.

You could let everyone know of an upcoming team or activity fundraiser. Share the date of the next science fair. Remind students of upcoming tryouts. Announce those who made the cut. Announce a game or activity that is canceled for the day. Congratulate a team or club for winning their last game or competition.

Daily Essentials

Many schools are replacing the primary signage at their entryways with School signs that can be updated with the daily essentials. This can include everything from the time to the weather, school motto, daily quotes, lunch specials, and key daily events. The information on the sign can change or vary by time of day. For example, the morning sign could feature the breakfast menu, while the afternoon sign could the lunch menu.

Emergency Announcements

If there are any kind of emergencies to announce they can be shared on one or more of the signs in the school. This includes weather warnings, weather delays, earthquake drills, school cancellations, and any immediate message that needs to be shared with the students, staff, and community.

Multi-Use Signs

As you can see there are countless ways you can use your new digital signs, but don’t feel limited to just one message. Your signs can rotate through a variety of messages, just make sure that each one stays on screen long enough for the full content to be seen and read (We recommend anywhere between 10-15 seconds). You can show the same rotation all day long or during different times of day, and you can change and update messaging any time you like.

Building A More Cohesive Campus

There was a time when every school had one of those old reader-board signs. You know, the ones your students vandalize in the middle of the night by rearranging the letters to create obscenities?

Digital School signs can’t be tampered with as easily as block letter signs. Their message changes when you want, how you want.
Digital School Signs can be used to instantly update your campus about current events or emergencies and are incredibly easy to read, unlike traditional signs.
