No, you can't. That's like saying "were is are we notebook". The problem is you're mixing up two different things: the verbs "ser" and "estar" and the use of possessive pronouns.

The verb "estar" talks about the situation of a thing or a person: where, how, when something/someone is.
The notebook is the subject of the sentence, so the verb only admits one conjugation: present indicative for él.
yo estoy
tú estás
él/ella está
nosotros estamos
vosotros estáis
ustedes están
ellos/ellas están

The verb "ser" talks about the inherent qualities of a thing or a person: what someone or something is.
yo soy
tú eres
él/ella es
nosotros somos
vosotros sois
ellos/ellas son


In order to answer where the notebook is, you only need one verb (not both), but if you want to include whose notebook it is, you need to know the possessive pronouns, and those are the ones Rusty presented.
They agree in gender and number according to the property's number and gender.
yo -> mi casa, mi hermano, mis maestras, mis lápices
tú -> tu goma, tu coche, tus amigas, tus cuadernos
él/ella -> su mamá, su reloj, sus lecciones, sus dibujos
nosotros -> nuestra escuela, nuestro salón, nuestras mochilas, nuestros compañeros
vosotros -> vuestra tarea, vuestro escritorio, vuestras clases, vuestros juegos
ustedes -> su computadora, su profesor, sus preguntas, sus teléfonos
ellos/ellas -> su oficina, su jardín, sus hijas, sus hijos
