I think that "put away" has different meanings, such as "set apart" (apartar), save (ahorrar), store (guardar) or consume (consumir). I'm not able to know which meaning you're asking for.

Well I will try to do my attempt.
In the literal translation in Spanish it could to be wrote so. Pon todo en orden or forma. I hope that my attempt can help you.

I'll give you the situation. Students are getting ready for a test and I tell them, "Put everything away", meaning their notes and books. Should I just say, "Quiten sus pupitres"?

I'd say: "guardad/recoged vuestras cosas".

Perhaps I should add that contrary to English, the imperative in Spanish has 4 possible endings, depending on whether to recipient is singular / plural / personal / polite. The example Irma gives is the plural personal form, appropriate for a class of students.

Well, I used the most common form used in Spain (vosotros), if you're used "ustedes" form, that would be "guarden/recojan sus cosas".
