I wouldn't email if there are no postings, and I would be cautious even if there are. When there are postings, make sure you carefully check every word of the application and application instructions to make sure there isn't anything in there asking you not to contact them.
With everything being on zoom now, my P is often sharing her screen in meetings/PD and such. I've noticed that she literally always has 3,000-4,000+ emails. And she's good about responding, so that's not just letting them pile up either. I think that's insane and now I always think twice before emailing her! As someone who doesn't yet work there, I'd worry that even if it does get noticed/doesn't just get deleted right away, it'd be noted as an annoyance.
Around here anyway, it's too early for schools to be even figuring out what their openings might be for next year. It's extremely unlikely that a P is going to receive your email, and however many weeks/months from now recall that someone emailed her who had the credentials for xyz opening.
If you're anxious for something to do now, just get all of your ducks in a row so that you can start applying the day those postings show up. Have your letters of rec, cover letter, resume, license, transcripts, etc. ready to go and uploaded somewhere so you can just attach them. Many districts that use applitrack (and other systems too, I'm sure) will also let you begin filling out applications even if there are no postings specific to you yet, so you could fill everything in/work on any essay questions, and then just have to click to add your application to postings as they do come up.
