If properly adjusted, the clutch pedal need not go all the way to the floor; it merely needs to go to the point where the clutch is completely disengaged. To be absolutely safe, you can press it to the floor, but (for example) it is not necessary in my car to do this.
Almost anyone that adjusts the clutch pedal is doing so to make the engagement point lower. Meaning that it is even more important to fully depress the clutch pedal to the floor.

Please don't encourage the OP or anyone for that matter to not fully press the clutch pedal down when changing gears. Especially with the OP being new to a standard gear box.
