One idea might be waiving the fee to formal, esp if it's an expensive one, or some of the nicer jewelery or badges. It's pretty easy to find stuff that's not going to break the bank but that the girls will love.
Suspending formal events may make people resentful rather than motivated. Carrot, not stick.
Try making study hours more appealing - have food, make sure there are breaks but that they don't last too long (say a 5 minute dance party -in another room in case people want to keep working). Make a 3 hour study period, but people only have to come for one hour.
Make a "study board" where people can post what they need help in, or brag about what they did well in.

Thank you so much! I love the study board idea! I am contacting our regional specialist for ideas, too. And we're not at risk right now to get into trouble like probation, not even close right now, actually. It's just I'm afraid that if we don't improve we could be there in a few years and I don't want to allow any more further downhill movement. We're getting worse instead of getting better right now, so I want to turn it around.
And we don't have a drug problem, haha.
