I provide guidelines and expectations at the beginning of the year to both students and teachers. The best thing I've done is to make the resources available online so that they can both be more self sufficient.
There will always be some parents that cross boundaries, but most have been pretty respectful. If I run into a parent that is pushing the boundaries, I usually reiterate that this is not how things are done. Once they are called out, they usually are fine.
Pro
At the beginning of the year, I let let all my students know the times that I am available. I make sure students and parents know that they can ask questions, but unless it is an emergency, I will not respond outside of my office hours
I put an auto reply on my email that gives my hours that I do email responses.
