can a notarized letter be used in place of a physical witness?

I'm no attorney, but NOPE.

As the devil's advocate -- I would want the right to cross examine the person who wrote the letter.

I may be wrong....but I'd side with NOPE.

what about just to make a statement like "the father has been involved with parent teacher conferences, school parties and functions" ?

i understand what you said, and that makes sense.

Still no.  The other side has a right to ask questions of any witness.  Can't ask a piece of paper questions.
