"Generic Login" for WordPress MU?

We are thinking about using WordPress MU for teacher communications with
parents, i.e. for classroom newsletters and photo slide shows, homework
assignments, etc. In my mind, the ideal setup would be similar to what we
have done in the past using FirstClass: a "generic" login for parents
(i.e. one user name and password for all of them) to view these pages (and
not necessarily add comments). We could continue using FirstClass for
this, but WordPress offers a much nicer interface. In researching this I
have had a hard time figuring out if this can be done, so I am curious if
anyone knows that answer, or, even better, if anyone has actually done
this using WordPress MU. Thanks, Joe
