Is teachers calling students parents if they mess up behaviourily in schools in USA common?

I had a substitute threaten to call my parents my senior year. For some reason or another she hated me. In exchange I hated her too. But she was just getting on to me for stupid stuff like shaking my foot quietly or other things I do to cope with my ADHD. I couldn'teven take a nap after finishing my assignment! I just turned 18 and was a week from graduating. I was fed up and tired of how she was treating me, especially when the class was wild and chaotic..When she told me knew my parents (she was my older sister's former principal) I just told her "we live in M town! EVERYONE knows my parents!" It was enough to make the class fall silent. Someone that was normally the most well behaved student in class had snapped. I knew I wouldn't get in trouble because I was in the right but she didnt have time to. I was saved by the bell.
