At one of my kid’s previous schools, we were listed as “call dad if issue is before noon, call mom if issue is after noon” because we both work from home but I work at night, so I’m asleep in the morning.
The first time they needed to talk to us in the morning but didn’t call my husband, and instead waited to talk to me that afternoon, they were politely corrected that if our attention is needed, they 100% can and should call my husband in the morning; he works from home, is just as involved a parent, and is just as capable to handle anything as I am. The second time that happened, we let them have it.

The mistake was not made a third time.
