The Hyde Park Parent Support Network (PSN) is a volunteer-run, grass-roots, shared resource for parents in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood. We do not screen our subscribers: anyone can join the PSN simply by filling out a form online, affirming they are a local parent, and giving an email address. All of the advice, recommendations and other messages that appear in our newsletters and on our website were contributed by such subscribers. Messages that are posted on this site and in our email newsletters are the opinions of subscribers only. We have no way to guarantee the accuracy, truth or the helpfulness of any of the messages that appear in our newsletters or on our website. Outdated or erroneous information and biased opinions inevitably occur. While we encourage the free use of any of the information appearing in our newsletters and on our website, we ask you to please be aware that we cannot be responsible for inaccuracies or problems that may arise from its use. We do not have the resources to investigate problems that may arise from your use of this information. Please always use other sources in conjunction with the PSN before making important decisions about your family, and always check references for yourself before hiring someone recommended by a PSN member.
