I think that until the child actually bites another child, you don't need to notify the parents. But once the first child is bitten you would need to address it. You probably wouldn't be allowed to name names, it would be more like a form letter "FYI, we have a biter in the class. We are working with the child on anger issues to correct this, blah, blah, blah." I know the first thing I'd do is ask my child who the biter was, so I'm sure everyone would find out who it is through the grapevine anyway.
If it was my child who was bitten, I would fully expect the school to tell me who the biter was so that I could call the parents and give them an ear full. It's assault, so the school has to address it somehow even if they are not allowed to remove the child from the classroom. The other children have rights too and should not be subjected to biting in the classroom because one child is out of control.
