My students have completed some games and I would like them to share their games to the Greenfoot.org site but some students have images that are probably copyright protected. If students include a disclaimer stating that the game was developed for educational purposes only and not for profit will this avoid any copyright problems?

I'm afraid that we can't really provide legal advice. There may be provisions such as "fair use" that allow for use of copyright-protected work, though these will vary from country to country; it may or may not be enough that the work is not used for profit and is used in an educational context. I would suggest that the safest course of action is to have your students produce their own artwork or use images from sources that expressly allow re-use. You can use CC search for example to find such images.
