Aside from posting interesting things here to lessen the email in our in box, my son's middle school teachers were all on message to set expectations for parents.
- They all indicated that they would return email within 48 hours, not immediately
- They all indicated that they were unable to access email for significant portions of the day
- They referred parents to the website which manages reporting of the students' assignments, grades, and tests
Maybe we could look at a time frame, at least individually, that we find realistic and comfortable and communicate that somehow. Maybe it could go on our signature, or an auto-message, or even when we see people in person.

Good idea. I will add to my signature something to the effect of:
"Because of high email volumes, I suggest you call if you have an immediate need to reach me."
