Duane D. Keller Middle School is among a group of 41 CCSD schools that were honored by UNR's Nevada Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) Technical Assistance Center.
This is the second year in a row that Keller has been recognized as a Platinum level MTSS school. Keller is the highest-ranked middle school in CCSD, and the only middle school to achieve in the top two tiers of the recognition.
Keller will be presented with a plaque to honor this recognition in February 2025 in Reno.
Keller Counselors' Corner Now Live!
Our counseling department will be hosting an in-person event on Wednesday, 8 October 2025 from 8:15-9:00am. The event will be held in our Little Theater, and light refreshments will be served. Please see our Counselors' Corner page for more information.
In collaboration with our counseling team here at Keller, we are excited to debut a new portion of our website called the Keller Counselors' Corner! Here, you can find information about how to connect with your counselor, as well as information about magnet schools and other services offered through the counseling department by CCSD.
Keller Mariachi Kicks Off Latino Heritage Month with the City of Las Vegas and Clark County Nevada!
Keller Middle School's Mariachi was invited to help the City of Las Vegas and Clark County Nevada kick of Latino Heritage Month with the lighting of the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas Sign south of the Las Vegas Strip. We love seeing our Jayhawks represent Keller at events like this! Keep Soaring Higher, Mariachi!
NEW TRAFFIC FLOW PATTERN
Starting Monday 18 August, parents dropping off and picking up students at the front of the school should enter the parking lot from Fogg Street, as the Stewart Avenue entrance will be blocked off. Please remember, you cannot stop your car in the lane of traffic to wait for your student. If you do not see your student, please circle around or park in a parking space to avoid causing traffic backups.
Congratulations to our own Noemi Flores, who has been featured in a CCSD recruitment video!
Noemi is an integral part of our staff at Keller, and we are so proud of her!
Delivery of Gifts, Bouquets, and Third-Party Items
For safety, students are not permitted to receive any third-party deliveries of any kind. Neither students nor parents/guardians may order food to be delivered to the student(s) for lunch. KMS does not have the resources or ability to verify the safety of the delivery/or person delivering. Delivery of food, gifts, balloons, flowers, and other non-instructional items takes away from the school’s ability to focus on instruction. Parents/guardians needing to deliver a forgotten lunch or any other item (athletic shoes, dance shoes, costumes, or instruments) or academic work may check in at the front desk to make arrangements.
