Zoned Students • If you currently reside in our attendance zone and submit a magnet application for the 22-23 school year, your application will automatically be placed in our zoned lottery, not our magnet lottery, and you will be required to reside in our attendance zone for the duration of the time your student attends Lanier. • If you would like your application to be placed in our magnet lottery, meaning if your application is selected through the magnet lottery you can move outside of our attendance zone, within HISD zones, and remain at Lanier, you will need to email the Vanguard Magnet coordinator, Mrs. Jennifer Garza Pender, at jgarza8@houstonisd.org, and request your student’s application be placed in our magnet lottery, not our zoned lottery. • Zoned students will automatically roll over into our HISD Connect/Power School system, so there is no need to apply online or fill out any registration paperwork prior to the start of school.
