You can turn-off (i.e., shut down) your iPad from settings - or using the Top (Sleep/Wake) button...


From iPad settings:

Settings > General > Shut Down


Shuting down using the Top button is equally straightforward. Simply press-and-hold the Top button until the down-slider appears on the iPad screen. When you see the slider, release the Top button, and slide with your finger.
