Should I have more info from my daughter's elementary teacher?

I'm in a very similar situation and to top it off we don't even have a back to school night. I've already emailed the teacher once or twice and drop off every day (for unrelated reasons) which gives at least some minimal interaction with the teacher, but I'm also hesitant to start the year off as "that"
parent who constantly emails etc. it's very frustrating.

I'm a "more info is better" type person and in my experience this varies from teacher to teacher and probably from school to school. I would ask the teacher the questions that you have, use email if you can b/c pick up and drop off are busy.

At our school all that info would be given out at back to school night, which is different from open house/meet and greet day. if you have a back to school night coming up, just wait it out. If not, it's totally legit to email the teacher and ask for the specials schedule, if nothing else.

Our teacher had basic info on a sheet of paper at open house. It just showed their schedule and to bring in snack. At our school, kindergarteners had a pin that has parent contact info and how they are going home on first day of school. I walked my child to class on first day and asked teacher a few questions directly. She had a clipboard and asked how my child would be getting home. I basically let them know 4 different ways - open house info sheet, official school how to get home sheet, pin on child and teacher asking me on the first day of school.

Just wanted to add that I also have a 2nd grader in the same school and I have received nothing! I did fill out info sheet at open house for him too. He knows how to get on the bus already though.

DC's teacher was not even there for the back to school night! No communication so far.
