- All of the core classes, administration, other Physical Education classes, and/or parents of the participating athletes are invited to view the TDC, however anyone who does not work with the SAES district must first report to the main office to obtain a sticker name tag (must be visible at all times on school premise).

- To ensure a fair and consistent environment, any student that experiences a prolonged injury and is unable to complete the classroom driven Titan Decathlon in the months of September and October will be permitted to, if desired, complete the 10 events. This will create a solution for all SAES students to have an equal opportunity to compete. The deadline for all Titan Decathlon submissions will be on the first school day in May.
