Why is this?/ My kid said only nerds use them.

First of all your kid sounds rude and second of all at my dd middle school almost everyone uses them.
I would really teach your child about hurtful language and how to be inclusive cause your kid for sure sounds like a mean kid.

OP, I really don’t think this is a huge deal. I have teen boys. They might be flattered or indifferent, but they wouldn’t be freaked out. Kids tend to know who has a crush on whom; all their friends are talking about it anyway. He likely knows who it is.

My teen’s HS has lockers. Catholic HS in DC area.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree

Seriously who uses "nerd" anymore except for someone who was proud to have "achieved" the top of the social hierarchy during their high school days

My guess is that it’s because the kids don’t have textbooks anymore. That’s what we really needed lockers for back in the 1900s.

My brother ended up marrying the girl who left anonymous notes in his locker in HS. They reconnected after completing college and hit it off. So who knows, maybe it will work out in the end.

My kid has and uses a locker. All the high schools around us have them.

It's not romance if it's not reciprocated. I'd say one note is fine, a note daily is creepy.

Talk to her about that, and then she can decide how to proceed. Hopefully she will just stop.

OP here, I believe she has been leaving about a note per week since the beginning of the school year

That’s too many, I think. I would tell her crushes are fine, also little secret admiring is fine, but once per week for a semester probably doesn’t feel good to him at all.
