Your First Day
What to know before you walk through the doors.
The first day at a new school can feel like a lot — new faces, new buildings, new routines. But don’t worry, we’ve got your back. At Springfield-Clark CTC, we make sure you’re not just showing up — you’re showing up READY.
This page covers everything you need to know for your first day, from what to bring and what to wear, to where to go and who will be there to help. (Spoiler alert: there will be lots of friendly faces waiting to guide you!)
So take a deep breath — you’ve got this, and we can’t wait to see you.
