[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are in upper elementary school. Most of my emails to the teacher are administrative (e.g. kid is out sick) beyond that, I maybe email once or twice a year. Yet I know some people seem to be in frequent communication with teachers. Am I unusual? Should I be emailing more? Or if you’re regularly in contact is it about specific issues?[/quote]

I know of a parent who got in trouble with their child's school for what they deemed excessive emailing. I don't really know the details except that their emails were blocked after a certain point. Maybe kids with IEPs and 504 plans and other issues need to email more. My opinion is that the more you email about trivial things, the less attention they will pay when you need to email them about something important. If it's an issue you can solve on your own (like, your child is bored in class but you supplement and do enrichment on your own dime, or your child has trouble making friends at school but they have tons of friends through non-school activities) then it's pointless to email.
