Hey there ebengreyvie,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities.
To get started, is this occurring with notes that you have saved in iCloud, directly to the iPad, or do you use another email account to sync your notes?
If you haven't already, try restarting your iPad with the steps shown here: Restart your iPad - Apple Support
How to restart an iPad without a Home button
1. Press and hold either volume button and the top button until the power off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.
3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo.
While restarting may seem like a simple step, it can often help with resolving some unexpected issues like this.
Keep us updated on the results.
Take care!
