I know the school needs to keep you informed, but I really do question whether a phone call home after every incident is helpful or productive. Think about whether you want to suggest a standing monthly (or quarterly?) call or meeting, so you can be aware of what's happening at school. They can continue to call you if and when they feel it's necessary, following major incidents, but I don't think it should be every time anything happens.
