I'd like to make a website where I can put newsletters, grades, student work etc. I'd like part of the site to be available to the public and part of it to be available to parents who have a password. Is there anyplace like that out there that you know of? Thanks.

You should not post any grade information on a site outside the school, as it would probably violate the laws about privacy of student records, even if you had password protection. If your school does not provide a secure site for posting grades, then you should not do it elsewhere. There are many solutions available to schools (my son's school uses PowerSchool, which seems adequate, though the user interface is not well thought out)
I know for sure you can password protect grades on teacherweb.

I agree with the responses you've gotten so far. I love using pbworks, and they are right- you can set up different levels of publicity in different pages. Wiki's are great if you want the students and parents to be able to participate in what you are putting up. On the other hand, if you want sort of an online newsletter with the option for readers to leave comments- then a blog might be a better way to go. I've used edublogs, although I had some difficulty with young students not having their own emails to comment- but if who your audience is is parents, then that isn't an issue. And there is a way to give a "fake" gmail address and make it work. I've heard 21 Classes doesn't require student emails, so that could be an option. However, I personally started playing around with a free site at: [link removed]!! :)
Susielease check with your administration to find out if they already provide this service, if they do, they are paying for it and you will get the best service/continuity if everyone is using the same program
