I want to put a pin-drop silence tag/note on my classroom door, how should I write it with minimum words init.

Regards,

Beenysh.

'Pin-drop' does not work well as an adjective. It is pretty much restricted to the fixed phrase 'so silent/quiet (that) you/we could hear a pin drop'. A classroom door notice might likely read like one of these: Silence Quiet, please!
