Home Leave Information

Each six weeks or so, Rio students get a 5-day break to go home, relax and re-energize. Please see our school calendar to find out when these breaks, referred to as “Home Leaves”, take place.

All home leaves will begin at 12:00 pm on the designated days unless otherwise indicated.  Students should make arrangements for transportation ahead of time. We provide transportation services to help alleviate long drives for parents.

Rio provides transportation to Tracy and Sacramento (and points en route) on home leaves and vacations at a moderate cost to cover expenses. See below for a complete list of pick up/drop off locations, times, and costs. Students wishing to ride Rio transportation must sign up and make financial arrangements at the business office 3 days prior to the home leave.

Reservations must be made and payments completed at least three days before home leave.

Please click Transportation Schedule for the complete pick up and drop off location details. A route map is available at the bottom of this page.

• Rio buses and vans will leave at 12:00 pm from the cafeteria parking lot on leave days.
• Dorms will close at 3:00 p.m. on leave days. Students who are picked up late will be charged $10/hr.
• Dorms will re-open at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday (or the day the leave ends). Please do not arrive prior to this time as the dorms will be closed and no dean is on duty.
• Students should return to the dorms by lights out (10:30 pm) on the day the leave ends.
