[quote=Anonymous]Middle grade elementary parent here - I expect communication will become less frequent as my kids get older.

Emails initiated by me are about logistics - informing the teacher about absences or trying to make up work.

Sometimes I have a question for the teacher in response to an email sent to class parents by the teacher - or clarifying how information sent in a school-wide email might affect DC's class specifically.

A few times I have sent a special thanks when a teacher update email was particularly helpful.

It also depends on the teacher - some are more "chatty"
with parents than others.

One of our children tells us nothing about school - which always surprises DC's teachers when we tell them this fact.  Upon learning this information, a "chattier" teacher might occaisionally share a nice story with us about our child (and yet still be shocked to discover we really knew nothing about the story)  This is always nice but we would never ask for such updates.

Our other child is an open book - so we hear all the stories directly from DC.  This child also is a bit more active - so there have been times we contacted a teacher to make sure our child wasn't out of line.
