In an actual emergency? Sure. "Entitlement" is a strange way to frame it. Emergencies should be rare, the school can accommodate them when they occur.

  "Disturbing all other kids" is strange way to frame phone call during lunch or break too. A bit dramatic since the supposedly disturbed kids were not disturbed from anything. And there is nothing wrong or disturbing about those even if the message is ordinary "go home alone cant come for you today" due to unexpected meeting or deadline. Or "go from school to grandma we will dinner there today" or "wait for me in school I will take you shopping today" change of plans that happen normally. Are they super dangerous emergencies? No. Are they practical to be called about? Yes.

    Can those SMS be checked when just outside of school ? yes. Go back in school in the third case, I'm sure schools can let you get back inside.

      Yes they can, if the kid remembers to check the phone which is usually unreliable. But even if kid is super reliable, so what? The original argument was "I like to call". Still does not make the call during lunch disturbing to other kids. Going from work to school just so that you can ask them to let you inside, just so that you can tell the kid to wait for you after school instead of going home is ridiculous suggestion and disturbing for everyone including employer.
