Directions and Parking

Parking is one of our biggest concerns for contest day!

Please educate yourself and your students/families about our parking situation--Thank you.

LOADING/UNLOADING 

Please plan to have your bus drivers drop off students and equipment on the north side of the school in the small parking lot.

BUS/SUBURBAN PARKING  

Please plan to have your bus drivers drop off students on the north side of the school.  Busses may then park on the north side of the school in the designated bus parking or along the unload zone. If the north lot is full, please go around to the south lot and park in the bus loading zone in the south lot. 

Suburbans may park in the south parking lot of the middle school. Check "Directions and Parking" tab for more details.

SPECTATOR PARKING

Parking is EXTREMELY limited at the middle school. Please plan to arrive very early before your student's entry times to allow yourself PLENTY of time if you are shuttling to the middle school. 

There will be two shuttle buses available throughout the day at the following locations: 

One shuttle will stop at: Prairie City United Methodist Church, Buffalo by Casey's, Recreation Park/ball fields, and town square.

One shuttle will stop at: Family Life Center, Pella Regional Health Center, and the open field to the west of Pella Regional Health Center.

There will designated signs where the shuttle will stop.

Other parking options that are close to the middle school include: the middle school parking lot, streets north and south of the school (please pay CLOSE attention to any no parking signs), and the Community Center across from the school's playground.
