Ok just my paranoia - I saw this was announced to the whole school in September

Attendance matters:

In order for an absence, late arrival or early departure to be marked excused we need the note from the doctor. Please, remember to provide the doctor note for all appointments.  We need these notes within 3 days of returning to school

I would push back.  That is not MCPS policy.

I’m taking my +1 back because I think I’m wrong on this. I googled and many schools have this policy. i’m pasting this one although this is the same policy that several middle schools and high schools also listed. None of my kids schools have required a note for late arrival for doctor appointment but I usually proactively bring one. I’m sure I have forgotten in the past.
