Emails Home - Curriculum Related

I have several practices regarding contact home for individual classes. The instances I contact home are:

  1. If a student scores significantly lower on a test than I (or they) expect.
  2. Whole class email out when significant tests are coming up.
  3. At the start of the year I try to introduce myself to parents via email so they have an easy point of contact, i.e. just click reply.
  4. If there is persistent disruptive behaviour or failure to meet school expectations for classes, e.g. consistently forgetting books, equipment. 
An example of number 2 above is below (click here for full size):
