Principal’s Message

At Dr. Carlos J. Finlay Elementary, our mission is simple: we love our students. Every day, our goal is to ensure that your child feels safe, happy, and truly valued. We aren’t just a school; we are a family, and we believe that when children feel cared for, they can achieve anything.

Our teachers and staff are dedicated to nurturing each child’s unique talents. We take great pride in watching our students grow, explore, and support one another. Every “Skeeter” in our building is a vital part of our community, and we are committed to helping them reach their full potential.

Thank you for trusting us with your children and for being part of our vibrant school family. We look forward to learning and growing together.

With Skeeter Pride and Much Love,

Mrs. Madelyn Rodriguez
Principal, Dr. Carlos J. Finlay Elementary School (5061)
